SOLUTIONS

  • The 1st method:

In your custom module

– Rewrite model Mage_Customer_Model_Customer in config.xml

<config>
			<global>
				<models>
					...
					<customer>
						<rewrite>
							<customer>Vendor_Namespace_Model_Customer_Customer</customer>
						</rewrite>
					</customer>
					...
				</models>
			</global>
		</config>

– Create Customer.php in path Vendor/Namespace/Model/Customer/Customer and override function _sendEmailTemplate

class Vendor_Namespace_Model_Customer_Customer extends Mage_Customer_Model_Customer
		{
			...
				protected function _sendEmailTemplate($template, $sender, $templateParams = array(), $storeId = null, $customerEmail = null)
				{
					$customerEmail = ($customerEmail) ? $customerEmail : $this->getEmail();
					/** @var $mailer Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Mailer */
					$mailer = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_mailer');
					$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
					$emailInfo->addTo($customerEmail, $this->getName());
					$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);

					//add bbc
					$mailer->addBcc('your_email@gmail.com');
					
					// Set all required params and send emails
					$mailer->setSender(Mage::getStoreConfig($sender, $storeId));
					$mailer->setStoreId($storeId);
					$mailer->setTemplateId(Mage::getStoreConfig($template, $storeId));
					$mailer->setTemplateParams($templateParams);
					$mailer->send();
					return $this;
				}
			...
		}

  • The 2nd method:

Add the following code

$storeId=Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
	$emailTemplateId='Youe email temlate';
	//Multiple BCC email address
	$add_bcc=array("someone@domain.com","someone2@domain.com");
	//Multiple CC email address
	$add_cc=array("someone3@domain.com","someone4@domain.com");
	$email='useremail@domain.com';
	$sender = Array('name' => 'test','email' => 'test@domain.com');
	$mailSubject='Your subject';
	$vars = Array('name' => 'Your message');

	$translate=Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
	$translate->getMail()->addCc($add_cc);
	$translate->setTemplateSubject($mailSubject)
		->addBCC($add_bcc)
		->sendTransactional($emailTemplateId, $sender, $email, null, $vars, $storeId);
	$translate->setTranslateInline(true);
