This might not be a good idea because the file might be in use or being
a pipe or what so ever.

Depending on the type of file the OP could just ignore the error
message or - like you mentioned - use a filelist .

You have several choices:
   1) build a list of all the names that you _do_ want copied, and
      tell  cp to copy _those_ files
   2) use some _other_ command to do the copying -- one which _does_
      support 'excluding' named files.
   3) use a loop in your script that:
         a) iterates for _every_ named file in the directory
         b) checks to see if the current name is 'cgisock' and if so,
            merely skips to the next name to be checked.
         c) if the file is not named 'cgisock' ,then the file is copied
            to the destination.

Lastly, you can just use 'cp', as is, and 'edit out' the error message
about 'cgisock' _before_ the email is sent. Something like:

             cp {{from}} {{to}} | 2>1 grep -v "cgisock"
