Aliases to multiple external (not local) email addresses?

[sykosoft]

I am in the process of migrating our current sendmail based system to Scalix CE, however, we have several aliases that are used for our on call engineers, several of which don't have email addresses which will be hosted on the scalix server.

For instance:

bb-alert@mydomain.com ---> michael@mydomain.com, eric@otherdomain.com, ramiel@thirddomain.com, 408555555@sms.provider.com

We're looking into becoming a scalix partner, however at the moment, our familiarity with scalix is still relatively new. If anyone could help us with a walkthrough to replace our current sendmail aliases, and replicate this funcitonality in scalix, we would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

You would want to use the sxaa command do this.

It can be found here:

Code: Select all

http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Admin_Resource_Kit#Creating_rules_for_users_with_sxaa


To do what you want, you would do something like:

Code: Select all

sxaa --user "User Name" --forward address1@domain.com
or
sxaa --user "User Name" --redirect address1@domain.com --retain

The first one will forward a copy of the message to the address1@domain.com. It will show up as a message from the local user.

The second one will forward a copy to address1@domain, but it will show up as coming from the original sender. The --retain will keep a copy in the local users inbox.

You can have multiple forwards/redirects on an account.
