Automatic CC On Outgoing

Hey there.

One of my attorneys had asked if it was possible to automatically have someone CC'd on an email if it goes to three specified people. I told him the only way I can think of is to make a distribution list or group and put all four people in but then the 4th person wouldn't be CC'd like he would like. Is this possible? Maybe though a rule or something? Thanks for any help you can offer!

This works great but it doesn't send the actual message. It's adds the CC but it will put it in the Outbox and never send it. Is there something like "Item.Send" that can be added to the end of this?

macbrando,

There's no need. It is an "event" sub, the event being the user clicking the Send button. The
code checks the outgoing item, and if it meets the criteria the CC is added.

Were you trying to launch the sub yourself?

No. I put the script where you told me to put it in then composed a new message. Typed the three email addresses that I set it to, typed a subject and body and clicked send. I then saw that the message never made it into my Sent Mail so I checked my outbox and it was there. It never actually got sent even though the CC was there. We use an Exchange server so it wouldn't have been delayed waiting for the next send/recieve cycle.

macbrando,

That's odd. I did test the code and it worked without incident...
