Scalix Forums

Hi,

When setting up a new scalix server you can define Mail Address Rules which govern the creation of email addresses.

i.e.

First.last, fiLast, flast etc etc.

There are about 10 default ones which cover most scenarios you would require....except for just plain old "first@some.domain.com".

I know when adding an account you can specify the email address (which is what i have done), but it would be nice to be able to have a rule to do it automatically.

After trying a few ways i have been unsuccessful, thus require a little guidance.

How can i add a new Mail Address Rule for "first" i.e. first@somedomain.com ?

TIA

what about:

omaddiam -s1 -D somedomain.com -N '"C" <G>'

or (which is the same)

sxconfig --set -t orniasys.name_part_1='"C" <G>' -t orniasys.domain_part_1='somedomain.com'

Note: Replace the number 1 to match your next free mail address rule number (omshowiam)

Thanks Marc,

I've used the above command to generate a new rule set and it works. However i've got just one last question....

Now when i go into the Admin Console and look at the Mail Address Rules i see a new Rule called "Server Generated", which is the one i created.

It would be nice if it could be name "First" just as the others are named First.Last", "fiLast" etc.

I couldn't see anyway to label it, it'd be nice for end users.

How can i label the rule?
