Or, even better, use hooks that select $sendmail depending on if you're sending a message to a mailing list or not. So, for private messages you can safely use Gmail's smtp servers and have no need to bcc yourself. In my case, that would be two simple hooks: # msmtp will automatically choose gmail's server if the From header # contains a predefined gmail address, and use the local server if not. folder-hook . 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" # Force the local MTA for mailing lists. folder-hook .lists 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/sendmail" Cheers. -- redondos
