How can the user put more e-mail addresses in his account

[grebex]

e.g. I want to receive mail sent to:
gretchen@mydomain.com
gretchen.berger@mydomain.com
support@mydomain.com

and I would like to choose the From: address when sending or replying.

I found that in SAC I can add more e-mail addresses to a user but I can't figure out how the user can select the from address used.

Also I can't find the place to add maildomains to accept on the server. I presume it should be done in some config files but isn't (shouldn't) there a place in SAC to manage this?

You can have multiple incoming adresses for a user.

However, as with all other Enterprise Email systems that I know (Exchange, Groupwise, etc.), every user can only have ONE outgoing internet address. this is used in corporate environments to ensure consistent appearance to the outside world.

in my personal case, my outgoing email address is always
first.last@scalix.com, i also have first@scalix.com as an alias due to my long last name. still, i want all outgoing email to use the full name.

As for domains, the answer is simple. You don't have to do anything at all. Scalix does not accept email based on domains, but on directory-based address match, i.e. as soon as a user has an email address (including domain), scalix will accept messages for this user. This is working as designed and super helpful in coexistence scenarios as Scalix can easily be set to accept only the users that it knows about and forward all other traffic (even in the same domain) to the "old" mailserver.

Hope this helps,
Florian.

Hello,

this post is from 2005.
I have different domain which I added now to Scalix 11.4.3
I can receive on this address I added to the user
But know also me I want to select the sending address.. Possible?

e.g.
user1@domain1.com send as user1@domain1.com
user1@domain2.com sends as user1@domain2.com
But still gets all mails into one account....

Thanks Bernhard

There is no concept of a sending domain. The sending address (including domain) used is always the primary email address of the user, i.e. in SAC it would be the first and topmost listed. You can reorder addresses for this purpose.

Functionality to choose which address to send from during the send operation (at least for SWA, in some other clients it's outside our control) will be added to a future release of Scalix. If, at this time, someone needs to send as two different addresses, two email accounts will have to be created and the user needs to be given delegate access to the other account as which he wants to send as well.

Hope this helps,
Florian
