I want to set up Outlook 2003 so that when the user sends an email, Outlook automatically sends a copy of the email to another, predefined email address.

Is there a way to do this?

Interesting these two posts happened so close together lol. But yes, I believe there is a way to do this. Talk with your fellow Exchange Server Admin ;)

That is strange that these posts happened so close together, but I'm wanting to do this on a home PC, so there's no admin to talk to. Is this possible?

Yes, it's possible on stand-alone Outlook (XP at least, 2003 should not be much different). Use the Rules Wizard and tweak it as necessary.

Open the rules wizard, start a new rule, start from a blank rule and tweak as necessary. For instance, I just set up a filter to cc all mail sent from my primary work account to my home e-mail address, took me about five minutes of playing around to get it to work. All messages sent out will be cc'd to the selected address.

A savvy user will find out the messages are being forwarded quite quickly, especially if they clean out their Sent Items box, because everything will read as being cc'd to the selected address, but it will probably fool about 50 percent of computer users.
