More Rules woes

Postby leigh » Mon Jun 05, 2006 8:56 pm

Hi all,
I just can't get this one right.
I have a premium user called support@mydomain.com.
This user is also set up to receive all mail for abuse@mydomain.com and postmaster@mydomain.com. So far so good.
I am trying to set up rules to file any mail for abuse@ in a different folder and another for postmaster@. I just can't make it work.
From the Rules Wizard, I have told it to file in another folder for anything sent to abue@mydomain.com, but it doesn't seem to work. New email still goes into the inbox.
I've also tried the same from the Outlook rules wizard. No luck.
Am I trying to do something that can't be done? I'm wondering if Scalic is treating the incoming mail as though it was sent to support@, because that is the primary address, or something similar?
Or have I just got something really wrong?

From what I can tell, Scalix re-writes the To: header to be that of the primary e-mail address when your user has aliases. So in your case, if your support@ has abuse@ and postmaster@ listed as a 2nd and 3rd e-mail, then any e-mail sent to all 3 will contain a To: header of support@

To get around this, I created a group called Postmaster with an address of postmaster@ Then I just listed my user as the only member and didn't list it in the address book. All e-mail then sent to postmaster@ shows up in my inbox, but addressed to postmaster@, not myuser@ =)
