My client runs a small business. This business has a small number of employees. They are currently hosted through GoDaddy for web and email.
For legal reasons the client would like to archive emails sent by their employees. Currently the emails are all done through POP3 so all the email is basically housed in files on individual machines (remember, small business).
It's been proposed an inexpensive solution to this would be to have all emails BCC'd to a main account so that conversations with the outside would could be archived and tracked. I have not investigated it myself personally but apparently GoDaddy can do something along these lines for all incoming email but not for outgoing email.
Is there a way to set up email accounts for a particular domain to where a specified admin user could be copied on all outgoing email?
UPDATE:
I've modified the title to reflect employees not users. The goal of this is to archive sent emails for legal reasons. This is something the employees will be cognizant of and on board with.
The bottom line here is to basically emulate a feature of a larger-class platform through a smaller, cheaper platform. If the answer is "can't do it, buy an Exchange license" that's fine.
My apologies for phrasing this so poorly. I understand why there was so much confusion.
