How can I add a BCC to all emails sent via WP Offload SES?

    Hi,

    Is there some way to have a BCC copy of all emails sent via Offload SES to another email address?

    In the docs I see there is a hook “wposes_mail_sent” which could be used for posting to a logging app or maybe Slack API or similar. I’m guessing that using this hook to send another email would be a bad idea… would create an infinite loop…

    function myMailSentHook( $to, $subject, $message, $headers, $attachments ) {
    // Your code here.
}
add_action( 'wposes_mail_sent', 'myMailSentHook', 10, 5 );

    So, that’s not much use.

    In the changelog (https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-offload-ses-lite)I see:

    = 0.4.8 =
* Experimental support for cc: and Bcc: in custom header
* Domain verification is ok

    But I can’t find any other mention of it… how do I add a BCC to a custom header?

    Any help or guidance appreciated.

    Thanks.

    WP Offload SES makes sure to run the usual wp_mail filter to let other plugins twiddle the parameters.

    So you can add a filter like the following to your child theme’s functions.php file:

    function add_bcc_to_wp_mail( $mail ) {
    $headers = array();
    if ( isset( $mail['headers'] ) ) {
        if ( is_array( $mail['headers'] ) ) {
            $headers = $mail['headers'];
        } else {
            $headers = explode( "\n", str_replace( "\r\n", "\n", $mail['headers'] ) );
        }
    }

    $headers[] = 'Bcc: [email protected]'; // TODO: CHANGE!
    $mail['headers'] = $headers;

    return $mail;
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail', 'add_bcc_to_wp_mail' );

    This is a very simple version, you may want to make it a bit more robust if there’s a chance that a BCC header has already been set.
