Basically I need to make a filter on another users account which forwards a copy of all emails from a specific address. I need to sort it out so that the original email still arrives, unedited. The user level filtering in cpanel, from what I can gather, will let me redirect the email, but has no option for just sending a copy?

I could probably do with a means of sending a copy of all emails sent from the account too.

And if anyone is wondering...this is to build evidence for when I tell my mother my father is cheating on her.

anyone?

I came in from dropping a file in at work and he was emailing her again.

I almost said something there and then, but without some form of proof if it all kicks off its pretty stupid.

Does anyone know what I can do? Im almost thinking of just putting some email rules into his outlook to forward things sent to and received from this woman, though he might notice that fairly quickly.

And that makes spying on someones personal mail OK?

2 wrongs never make a right.

So Im just meant to go "Mum, ask dad about Ann"? This is the person who sets pornographic movies to record at night, and then claims ignorance or that its the sky box doing it on its own, even though its not mum and its not me. Hed just say "Who?". Truly my mum would be better off without him and the only way will be to have some form of proof.

Wow, Tekforum drama.

Keep us updated now youve gotten us hooked!

Thankfully never having had the horrible experience of being in this position Im not exactly speaking from experience but Im going to spout on anyway...

Think you need definitely need to talk to your dad before your mum. Potentially a few pornos and a sexy email or two on the web with Ann (or actually Brian from Accrington) is quite a long way from a full blown affair...

On a more techy note, not sure you can do what youre attempting to do with rules - pretty sure theyre constructed in a way that doesnt allow you to do "all" type things.

Having said that, should be possible to find out the relevant email address by trying a few relevant letters in the address bar if its a modern version of Outlook... alternatively you might be able to write a solution in VBA.

There we go, stepped down off the high ground and waded in :/

I think Ive figured out a solution which I think is working. Either that or its deleting all emails sent to him which is also a good thing.

Part of me wants to just leave it alone and move out and forget about it, but at the same time its not fair on my mother either. My sister isnt much help, who knows as I had to tell someone.

One day I might just point out to him when hes closing outlook down rapidly or destroying his phone bill that were not stupid, contrary to what hes told Ann, and that some of us have known for the last 2 years. Blech, role on heart disease from excessive alcohol and salt consumption and maybe thatll be the solution to everything.

Dont take this as a vindication of your fathers action - but people are flawed - I know this to be true - but it doesnt undo anything that might be good about them. Hope youre able to remember that.

Yeah I get what you mean. As my sis said, none of us are perfect and my mother may not be entirely to blame regarding the current situation. I wouldnt be too bothered if it was a straight up affair where he moved out to live with this other woman, as my mother would be better off (she is the money earner in the household, my dad just spends it, so whilst my mother is worrying about finances hes looking at getting a hard-top for his MX5...Plus on a monthly basis hes usually caused her to break down in tears at least once, and considering his behaviour this isnt right). As it stands hes pretty much insulting the family (literally, calling us stupid), whilst leaching off of my mother/family. I can kinda understand the attraction of a secret affair, the reason Ive not said anything yet after 2 years is Ive kept hoping that itd blow over, but no.

Sad thing is that if he talked to my mother the way he talks to this woman theyd both be happy

Anyway, it might be an idea to lock this thread as I realise now I should not have mentioned it hear, though there arent many other people/places I can discuss this with :|

Cheers for the support anyway BigSoy, its appreciated.
