Scalix Forums

I am trying to create a REDIRECT rule for an administration account which will redirect all mail to a set of users. I do not have any distribution lists yet as the process of creating them seems to be more complicated than it should be.

FEATURE REQUEST: Better/simpler gui based management of these things in the SAC would be nice.

I can create a simple REDIRECT rule to any single user, but cannot seem to add more than one user in the "To" field from the Rules Wizard. I have tried both

first@domain.com;second@domain.com and

first@domain.com,second@domain.com


I am using the rules wizard from the WEBMAIL interface so maybe this is the limitation?

The nature of a REDIRECT is that the message appears never to have touched the original recipient, so the exact purpose is not to duplicate it, but to change the apparent recipient. It can of course point to a Distribution List.

You can create multiple forward rules, though.

Hope this helps it...

Every day you learn something new... I was just told by a Scalix friend that you can actually setup MULTIPLE Redirect RULES and they will all be active at the same time.

So.... many ways to get to Rome.... (and there you'll find lot's of Redirections!)

Good Luck,
Florian

Can you redirect to another person and *still* deliver it to the intended recipient (like a forced BCC)?

The Scalix Rules Wizard that is used with SWA allows you to create a redirection but doesn't provide the ability to retain an intray copy. We have raised this as an enhancement request but there are no guarantees when it will become available.

However, on the Scalix install media, the admin_resource_kit/ directory contains a script called sxaa (along with a readme) which allows you to create a simple redirection which *does* retain a copy.

Cheers
