There are some features in Exim that were put there especially to help
with this kind of requirement.
Simple copying can be done using a system filter and an "unseen deliver"
command. The complication is in how serious you are about "without the
user's knowledge". Are you prepared to put that user's address in the
condition in the filter? Does the fact that the extra delivery will be
logged like any other cause you problems? There are ways round both of
these problems, but they involve some extra work to set up.
