Re: [mv] HOWTO: carbon copy orders ?

[cfm@maine.com]

Do it the easy way, bang it off a local alias.

If you are using qmail (for example) send all your orders
to something like:
.qmail-orders-<mystore>

Which maps orders to 
you@foo.com
me@bar.net
./my_archive

You are running sendmail sendmail de'jour <bias revealed>; do the same
with a .forward.  It's useful for testing too.
