Forwarding mail to another internal server

Postby lleung » Wed Feb 22, 2006 7:57 pm

Hello,
Is there a way I can forward a user's email to another server while retaining the same header file?
here's the example:
user1@hos1t gets an email on scalix server
scalix server forwords it to another email server else where (qmail), an ip address or just a host name that will accept the same user at host.

What I've tried was:
Forwording by creating an "internet user" using sac will changes the email header since it's done by pointing the account to another user@host. (eg: user2@host2) This is not what I want since it changes the user@host, therefore breaking the parser on host2, which expect to get email in the format of user1@host1

I'd like to retain user1@host1 for parsing purposes, but have this email forwarded (relayed?) to host2. Is this possible?

Okay I solved my own problem.. simpler than I expected, but not exactly a graceful solution.

use SWA, rule wizard, add redirect all email to user2@host2

done

Why is that not a graceful situation ? What were you looking to be able to do ?

The script sxaa, which has been referenced a number of times in this forum is available in the admin_resource_kit/ directory. The associated readme will give you examples of how to specify the appropriate rules.

Cheers

Dave
