Send copy of all emails to admin

[Thomas P]

Hello folks,

I need all emails sent via the forum eMail form cc'ed to the admin.

I'll post a note on the eMail form about this procedure.

We have way to many spammers abusing this form.

Anyone?

Thanks,
-Tom

At the end of member.php I found this

PHP Code:

(...)
  eval("\$sendmessage = \"".gettemplate("email_usermessage",1,0)."\";");

  $subject = preg_replace('/[\n\t\r,]/s', ' ', $subject);

  vbmail($destuserinfo['email'], $subject, $sendmessage, $bbuserinfo['email'], '', $bbuserinfo['username']);

  // parse this next line with eval:
  $sendtoname=$destuserinfo[username];
  eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_sentemail")."\",\"$HTTP_POST_VARS[url]\");");
}

?> 


Can I just add an address?

If you only want to have them for emails sent via the email user form then add after:

PHP Code:

vbmail($destuserinfo['email'], $subject, $sendmessage, $bbuserinfo['email'], '', $bbuserinfo['username']); 


this:

PHP Code:

vbmail('admin@email.com', $subject, $sendmessage, $bbuserinfo['email'], '', $bbuserinfo['username']); 


replacing admin@email.com with the admins email address.

Totaly untested as I don't use vB2, but should work based on the code you posted

Thanks,
so the mails are now sent to the dest. user plus the admin?

[NTLDR]

Yes they should get sent to the user, then the exact same email sent to the address you entered

Ah, I see, I now have two nearly identical lines - thanks, I'll try this.

I didnt find it in 227

227 doesn't use vbmail() iirc.

you should really upgrade to 234 regarding the security holes in 227
