Buddypress – Send New User Activation Link to Admin

How do I send the new user activation link to my own email address instead of the user? Is there a simple function I can use to switch things out?

function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . "?key=$key";
$activate_url = esc_url($activate_url);
$admin_email  = get_site_option( 'admin_email' );

if ( empty( $admin_email ) )
    $admin_email = 'support@' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

// If this is an admin generated activation, add a param to email the
// user login details
$email = is_admin() ? '&e=1' : '';

$from_name       = ( '' == get_site_option( 'site_name' ) ) ? 'WordPress' : esc_html( get_site_option( 'site_name' ) );
$message_headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0n" . "From: "{$from_name}" <{$admin_email}>n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="" . get_option( 'blog_charset' ) . ""n";
$message         = sprintf( __( "Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:nn%1$snn", 'buddypress' ), $activate_url . $email );
$subject         = '[' . $from_name . '] ' . __( 'Activate Your Account', 'buddypress' );

// Send the message
$to      = apply_filters( 'bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to',   $user_email, $user, $user_email, $key, $meta );
$subject = apply_filters( 'bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_subject', $subject, $user, $user_email, $key, $meta );
$message = apply_filters( 'bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_message', $message, $user, $user_email, $key, $meta );

wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $message_headers );

do_action( 'bp_core_sent_user_signup_email', $admin_email, $subject, $message, $user, $user_email, $key, $meta );

// Return false to stop the original WPMU function from continuing
return false;

}
if ( !is_admin() || ( is_admin() && empty( $_POST[‘noconfirmation’] ) ) )
add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification’, 1, 4 );

  1. Reading the code I would try something like this:

    add_filter( 
        'bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_to', 
        'wpse_60858_catch_user_signup_mail' 
    );
    
    function wpse_60858_catch_user_signup_mail()
    {
        // make sure to use a valid email. test it with different addresses
        return get_site_option( 'admin_email', 'fallback-address@example.com' );
    }
    

    This changes the $to part only.
