Forwarding email to external address

[dgerard]

Hello,
I am running Scalix 9.4.2 and am having some trouble with forwarding mail to an external email address. I have a Scalix user that wants to receive email in his internal Scalix mailbox and also have a copy sent to an outside email address, user@yahoo.com. I have used the Scalix Rules Wizard to create a forwarding rule so he gets a copy in his Scalix mailbox and also a copy sent to his outside address. This part works fine. The problem is that the message forwarded to his outside address is addressed from his internal Scalix email address and not the original sender. Is it possible to change this? I am new to Scalix so I apologize if this question has been answered. I didn't seem to find anything searching the forums.

Thanks,
Dana

Not sure if this is the best method but I've used this.

omaddred -I "Joe User/mailnode" "user-at-yahoo'com"

The -I option will retain a copy in the inbox. Note the use of -at- in place of @ and ' in place of . (dot) See HP's ITRC documents: 3200252337 and KBRC00011444 for details. You should be able to use the rules wizard to get rid of these redirections when needed.

Hope this helps,
-Noel

omaddred has been superceded by the script sxaa which is in the admin_resource_kit/ directory.

The major downside to omaddred was that there was never any omdelred to go with it :-)

Cheers

Thanks to both of you for the quick response. Using SXAA with the redirect and retain gave me just what I wanted.

Thanks again,
