optional to

recipient_bcc_maps
sender_bcc_maps


you may use

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
...
always_bcc (default: empty)

    Optional address that receives a "blind carbon copy" of each message
that is received by the Postfix mail system.

    Note: with Postfix 2.3 and later the BCC address is added as if it
was specified with NOTIFY=NONE. The sender will not be notified when the
BCC address is undeliverable, as long as all down-stream software
implements RFC 3461.

    Note: with Postfix 2.2 and earlier the sender will be notified when
the BCC address is undeliverable.

    Note: automatic BCC recipients are produced only for new mail. To
avoid mailer loops, automatic BCC recipients are not generated after
Postfix forwards mail internally, or after Postfix generates mail itself.
