Scalix Forums

Hi guys

Using COMMUNITY EDITION now for 2 weeks on CentOS 5. I love this solution. But I have camed to
point where googling, forum search doesn't give me any result.

So I would like to create general emails which actually are not account but rather like "alias":

info@domain.com
sales@domain.com
support@domain.com

And this emails would be automatically copied to users or group:

info@domain.com ---> john.doe@domain.com + lolly.pop@domain.com + mary.grant @ doman.com

And for example thath my admin account can send also out emails from info@domain.com

So any help with giving me direction to manual or instructions how to do this?

Thank you
Saso

You are looking for groups (second tab in SAC). However, you can only send as a group if you use a POP3/IMAP client, not from Outlook or SWA.

Hi Valeron

How ever I try to do this I always get error.

First I try to run wizard:
Main Windows -> Create Group(s)
New popup windows -> Group name = Info
i check also "Display in address book.
Members Windows -> I check almost every premium user
Group Membership -> I leave here empty "Name"
Than I can click only bellow buttons BACK/ FINISH / SAVE AND CREATE ANOTHER GROUP / CANCEL

If I try to click FINISH or SAVE AND CREATE ANOTHER GROUP i recieve error:

Could not create the group.

Even If I would like to save group on first wizard windows this is not possiblle.

I was looking also for terminal command "omaddpdl" but I'm not able to get understanding how to use
it's option.


Any idea?

I need to create "ALIAS" like

info@domain.com
sales@domain.om
support@domain.com

Which would be forwarded to certain premium users.

What do I do wrong?

I'm googling like crazy and reading on-line documentation without any success.

omaddpdl -l 'Group Name/IA=info@company.com' <---- Adds the Group
omaddpdln -l 'Group Name' -n 'User Name/mailnode' <---- Adds a user

But SAC should work. Tried it just now myself and it was working (Scalix 11.4.3 CentOS 5.3). It may be that some attribute is duplicated. Perhaps try a

omsearch -e IA-FORMAL=info@company.com
omsearch -e S=Info

and see if you get any matches. Try creating a group with attributes you know are not in the system and see if that creates correctly (e.g. Invalid Group/invalid@company,com). But if there are uniqueness issues, omaddpdl will tell you.

Also, check the CAA and RES logs in /var/opt/scalix/??/tomcat/logs.

do you already have those addresses setup? You cant create a group called info if a user called info already exists. You would first have to delete the info user then create the group.

try setting up a dummy group like "infotest" also. This will prove that there is no issue in creating a group.

Hi everybody

thank you for your support. I really was not able to create groups. This problem I didn't have with creating
users.

In past days I have also tried to install Joomla as CMS for our company and I had some errors in this installation.

So what I did is that I gaved full access and write rights to every file and folder in my www folder using
chmod command on my Linux server.

After this now I was able to create group in SAV web manager.

It seems that many problems are in file rights which we need to perform manually.
