setup simple mail forwarding

[netcomrade]

I can't figure out how to setup mail forwarding for accounts I setup.
Of course a tool that would do rotations of email would be great too :)

We need to setup boxes such as
oncall@ourplace.com -> person on call
secondary@ourplace -> where second page goes out
escalation@....
you get the idea.

We'd change it every Friday night. GUI for technically weak would be nice too.

Thanks,
Andrey

There are rules wizard gui's accessible via outlook and swa. You may also want to look at sxaa which you will find in $SCALIX_INSTALL_MEDIUM/admin_resource_kit. See the sxaa.readme for details.

You could potentially write a script using sxaa and incorporating the script into a cron job to automate the process.

is this some optional package?

[root@mt-adm1 scalix]# find . -name admin_resource_kit
[root@mt-adm1 scalix]# find . -name sxaa*
[root@mt-adm1 scalix]#

returns nothing.

If you can't find the kit in the download you installed from then look here:

http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scalix_Wiki

under 3. Admin Resources and then 3. Creating rules for users with sxaa where the readme and the tool are available for download.

to use sxaa:
to add a rule:

" sxaa --user dey --file TEST --sender robertd@fsoftware.com.au "

So my name is Dey and the folder I want to file messages from robertd into is called TEST.

sxaa --user "my name"
this will list all the rules setup like:

" sxaa --user dey "
OOF FLT OLK AANO ACTION TITLE STATE
--- --- --- ---- ---------- ------------------------------ --------
Y 500 FILE SXAA FILE:500 enabled

where I have setup a FILE rule and did not give it a name so sxaa has named it "SXAA FILE:500"

sxaa --user dey --file TEST --sender robertd@fsoftware.com.au --title "FILE ROBERTD"

this would have added a title of FILE ROBERTD instead of SXAA FILE:500

Although the sxaa doesn't show where I am filing my messages into I can tell that from the ~user/g0000##/000003d file. Use tfbrowse to view the file and it shows all the details that are missing from the sxaa:

tfbrowse -i 000003d
HEADER (DN) 1 0 2 1002 0x0 0x0 0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 ""
AA_NO () 0x0 500 0 0 0 0 "SXAA FILE:500" "" "" "" ""
FILTER_NAME () 0x0 0x8000 3 1 0 0 "S=robertd@fsoftware.com.au"
AA_FILE () 0x0 0x1 0 0 "TEST" "" "" "" ""
^^^^^^ folder name

Or, maybe that is an enhancement for sxaa to add the folder name to the output if it is a FILE action???

You need to run

Code: Select all

sxaa --user dey --info 500

you'll see that it will show you the folder.
