Scalix Forums

I've searched and searched, but I just can't find the answer to what I hope is a simple question.

How does one set up a forwarding address in Scalix?

For example, I want all mail sent to jsmith@ourdomain.com (on my Scalix server) to be automatically redirected to johns@otherdomain.com (on some random server out there).

Thanks!

sxaa --add --username user --forward [address@domain | S=Last/G=First/OU1=mailnode] [--text file.txt]

Thanks for getting me started! However, this isn't quite what is needed. Here is the final solution:

omaddu -n <username>/<mailnode>/internet-addr=<username>@<domain>
sxaa --user <username>@<domain> --redirect <otheraddress>

sxaa doesn't have an --add option, so omaddu must be run first. Also, the --redirect option should be used instead of --forward so the mail doesn't pile up in the placeholder account.

Thanks again!

Cool that worked for me as well... thanks...

How does one disable redirect?

bump, because I'd like to know as well.

What do you mean by disable redirect?

You can use sxaa to delete the rule you created with sxaa.

What am I missing?

Thought i might just alert you to this......

I did the same in Version 11 of scalix,

however the concerning thing is that the user gets created without a password, and i could login to SWA without a password!!! All sorts of security problems with that, among other ways to access the box......

you should at least add the following switches.....

--swa N --class limited --lock-password

thus no login and only a standard license used. If the user graduates to a fully fledged mail user, then set the password and unlock it via sac and enable SWA etc.
