CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

These days I came across the following user requirement:
'We need to have an e-mail sent to person B whenever an e-mail is sent to person A'

Investigating a bit further it seems that person B is an assistant to person A, so therefore the requirement.
To solve this I have created a relationship called "cc_contact", and this allows storing and retrieving the information.

However, the request seems quite common and I was wondering if there is already a better way to do it in CiviCRM?
