[mv] HOWTO: carbon copy orders ?

[OTR Comm <otrcomm@wildapache.net>]

Hello,

I saw in the archives a message from back in 1997 (posted by
rho@Austria.EU.net) that talked about how to create a carbon copy of
order notices.  It went like so:

[snip]

With below patch one can now define a line

CCMailOrderTo s_email

in catalog.cfg. This shall specify that an order will also be mailed as
Cc: to an address living in the scratch var "s_email". It is the
responsibility
of the application engineer to set it properly.

# diff -r Vend.old Vend
diff -r Vend.old/Config.pm Vend/Config.pm
79a80
> ['CCMailOrderTo', undef, ''],
Common subdirectories: Vend.old/Table and Vend/Table
diff -r Vend.old/Util.pm Vend/Util.pm
556a557
> my ($cc) = '';
561a563,568
> my $ccconfig = $Vend::Cfg->{'CCMailOrderTo'};
> $cc = "Cc: $Vend::Session->{'scratch'}->{$ccconfig}\n" 
> if $Vend::Session->{'scratch'}->{$ccconfig};
> 
> 
565c572
< print Vend::MAIL "To: $to\n", $reply, "Subject: $subject\n\n", $body

---
> print Vend::MAIL "To: $to\n", $cc, $reply, "Subject: $subject\n\n", $body

[snip]

I have tried to use this patch, but can not get it to work.  Actually, I
eliminated the ', $body' off the end of the print Vend... statement,
since this appears to be redundant for MV3.14-5 (i.e., $body gets added
later in the code).

I have the Util.pm code in the sub send_mail.  The local variable
$ccconfig does evaluate to the proper 'CCMailOrderTo' address that I
defne in my catalog.cfg file, but
$Vend::Session->{'scratch'}->{$ccconfig} converts/evaluates this to ''
(i.e., nothing).  Consequently, $cc = $cc = "Cc:
$Vend::Session->{'scratch'}->{$ccconfig}\n" never gets activated.

I am not sure how the $Vend::Session->{'scratch'} gets loaded, but it is
obvious that $ccconfig is not an element.

I tried setting $cc = "$Vend::Cfg->{'CCMailOrderTo'}\n" and I can see in
my debugging log that $cc evaluates to the proper 'CCMailOrderTo'
address.  However, the user at the defined 'CCMailOrderTo' address does
not receive a copy.  The ORDERS_TO recipient does receive the message
and it shows that the 'CCMailOrderTo' address was CCed.

Now, if I DO leave ', $body' in the 'print Vend...' statement, the
'CCMailOrderTo' gets a copy, but the 'body' of the message is
duplicated.

Does anyone have any idea(s) about why this patch does not seem to work
on my system?  Is there another way to send a carbon copy without adding
another address to the ORDERS_TO variable?

I am using sendmail-8.9.3 on a RedHat6.2 system.

Thanks,
Murrah Boswell
