    No idea why he was "spying" on a client. We only found this out after he left and we took over the account.

    private MailMessage BuildMailMessage(...)
    {
    ...

    mailMessage.BCC.Add("guys@address.com");

    ..
    }

    :confused:

      Some of us have done that at my job to temporarily monitor production emails to be sure everything is working as expected.

        Somewhere (the daily WTF?) I saw <a href="mailto:....bcc=guys@address.com.."> link. Seems to be not so uncommon.

          I can understand why a dev would want to monitor things to ensure that everything is working properly. I also understand why a customer would not like the idea of being spied upon. :)

          Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

            Potayto, potawto. Another thing we do is retain any emails sent from our servers. I suppose that could be considered spying too.

              Yeah, that would be my initial reaction too. Just making sure the body/to/ccs/etc are working right. Of course, I'm coming from my world, where we have several automatically-generated emails. Although I would typically write this info to a log instead of copying myself/someone else. A little disappointing that dev didn't configure the 'emailChecker' address so it could be easily de-configured.

                Thinking the best, he wanted to be sure that the system was running perfectly, thinking the worst, he may be working for someone else... However, if the account was a corporate account (and not his personal email account), most likely he was monitoring the system.

                CEO at: - Rafaga Systems - Para Facturas - Modern Components for the moment...
