Mail

Postfix forward option

An option to forward one's mail to another (in case of vacation or whatever) with the option to keep mail local or forward and delete it.

This is an interim solution by Micheal Judd:

Here is a scenario and how we fixed it.

A user has a blackberry device and wants to receive email sent to his ebox domain to the blackberry. We implemented this with forwarding.

Modify the following file: /usr/share/ebox/stubs/mail/main.cf.mas

From

    virtual_alias_maps = ldap:valiases

to

    virtual_alias_maps = ldap:valiases, hash:/etc/postfix/manual_forwards

Create the file: /etc/postfix/manual_forwards email@domain.tld email@domain.tld,anotheremail@domain.tld

postmap /etc/postfix/manual_forwards

The regenerate the config files (or just edit /etc/postfix/main.cf as above) and reload postfix

Obviously, it would be helpful to have this as an option in the gui.

This can be used for integration with blackberry devices, temporary diverts (a private email, a new email address) and many other useful things.

Mail can be left in a inconsistent state if mailfilter is removed

If mail is using the ebox-mailfilter, and the latter is removed, we can run into problems.
