Recently, I wanted to send a copy of every email of particular person to a given email address using postfix. I was looking for solution in Postfix documents and i found simple way to do this using – Automatic BCC recipients.

To achieve this Postfix provides three mechanisms:

1. always_bcc = address
Deliver a copy of all mail to the specified address. If you want to deliver a copy of all emails to the specified email address then just you can add below config in main.cf and reload the postfix config. always_bcc=xyz@domain.com2. sender_bcc_maps = type:table
Search the specified “type:table” lookup table with the envelope sender address for an automatic BCC address.
3. recipient_bcc_maps = type:table
Search the specified “type:table” lookup table with the envelope recipient address for an automatic BCC address.

1. create recipient_bcc mapping hash tables
# vi /etc/postfix/recipient_bcc

2. Add emails you want to apply this to:
#recipient_bcc mapping
abc@domain.com xyz@domain.com


3. Now you create the hash mapping database
# /usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/recipient_bcc

4. Add this configuration in main.cf
# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
recipient_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_bcc


5. Reload the postfix configuration
#/etc/init.d/postfix reload

Recently, I downloaded eSnips Downloader to download few mp3s.  After installing it, esnips changed all my firefox and IE7 settings – home page,  address bar search engine, right top search engine. I tried uninstalling, it just removed right top search engine. After searching in google for a solution,  I found a simple way to reset the address bar search facility.

1. In address bar, type about:config.
2. Search for keyword.url
3. Right click on it and reset.

Above steps will reset your address bar search engine to default google search engine.
