<div>Hi Jules,</div>

<div>My company has been using Zendto for over a year now but I am
still having some problems getting people to use it vs.
YouSendIt.com. I thought I would forward a wish list of sorts
based on the feedback of users and management. Any progress made
on these items would help me mitigate the concerns of the staff
and increase buy-in.</div>

<li><b>BCC/Monitoring email box.</b> While I think it is
personally a bit Orwellian, The management wants to have a way
to BCC an email address for all inbound and outbound drop-offs
(Files sent to employees and files sent from employees). This
is a real sticking point for the management and don't want to
use Zendto without it. Think of it as a monitoring mailbox. I
have already explained to management that administrators can
see all mailboxes and that there is a log of all files sent
but they wanted something more real time. Beyond being alerted
to employees sending out inappropriate items, they also said
it helps them be more aware of how employees are interacting
with clients and allowed them to know if files were being sent
as promised. I poked around the files looking for the code
what sends the email, thinking I could just add the email
address but wasn't able to find it. If you can point me to
where to add it to the code to BCC when ever an email is sent
that would be great. Ideally through, it would be a setting in
the preferences.php file and would only BCC the monitoring
email box when a drop-off has occurred (not the request
drop-off emails or the emails confirming the address is real).</li>

Edit /opt/zendto/lib/NSSDropoff.php<br>
Look at line 766 and you should find a line that just says<br>
$emailSubject,<br>
Change that to<br>
$emailSubject . PHP_EOL . 'Bcc:
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mymonitoraddress@domain.com">mymonitoraddress@domain.com</a>'<br>
and that should be all that is required.<br>
This could be expanded to a preferences.php setting fairly easily,
but I'm not yet sure how many people need this feature. In this
project I am *really* wary of feature creep.<br>

<li><b>Address book.</b> We send files to the same people A LOT.
I know that this has been brought up before but I thought I
would add my vote and how I envision it working. When a logged
in user enters an email address there would be a "Save
address" check box next to it. If that box is checked it would
add that email address to a list that could be accessed from a
drop down menu (i.e. "in the Enter Recipients box there would
be a drop down menu that would allow them to choose a saved
email address from the address book). For us it would work
best if the address book was universal (any saved address is
available for anyone) but I know that might not be practical
for situations like universities, A per user address book
would also work, or maybe it could be set to per user or
universal in the preference.php file. Regardless this would be
a huge help.</li>

Understood. Still hard to implement though.<br>

<li><b>Add to library.</b> While I really like the
implementation of the library function it is really that
useful for our current employees. What would be ideal for us
is an "Add to library" check box next to files that we are
sending. When a use checks the box the file is uploaded to
there dropbox folder but a copy is also added to the library
folder. Again, for us adding it to the general Library folder
would be the best option but adding it to the personal library
would also work.</li>

That's not easy either. But I see your point.<br>

I'll check up on how this is progressing.<br>
