Hello,
I've a weard problem and can't find a solution.

I have a user that had several Mailaliases and it is important, that only a certain of this aliases is used for the ReplyTo Header.

In SWA I can't change it. So what I did is moving all the aliases but the one needed in ReplyTo to another group.
That means the user has only one address left, the one that needs to be in the ReplyTo.

But nevertheless I have an old alias in the ReplyTo, even if the user doens't have this address anymore.

So my question is: How can I change the address for the ReplyTo?

Have fun

So to add something to the thread here is the only solution I found up to now:

Code: Select all

Delete the account and create a new one with the desired email address as first address.


But I find it still very disturbing that the user is not able to choose from his aliases for the ReplyTo Header.

One good example is a mailing list. Imagine you have some filters that work with aliases. Now I want to subscribe to an mailing list with a specific alias.
Apparently there's now way to do it but to create another account.

Regards

Marc

Review the following post

Making the change to swa.properties does allow the Reply-From field to be edited. After the change I restarted Scalix.

Thank you mbowesman,
the configuration change did the trick. :D

For all the other people looking for the solution I think it is best to reproduce it right here:
    1. Open swa.properties ( Location: /var/opt/scalix/XX/webmail/swa.properties )
    2. Change the option swa.allusers.allowFromReplyToModification from False to True ( line 163 in my file )
    3. Restart scalix and scalix-tomcat



Have fun
