How to let all users recieve mail on two domains

[mortenchristensen]

Today we have a SLOX-server (SuSE Linux OpeneXchange) build on a postfix MTA for 75 users.

We have 2 domain-names verylongdomainname.dk and shortname.tc (in fact we have 3 or 4 domains) and all users recieve mail on both xyz@verylongdomainname.dk and xyz@shortname.tc.

In postfix' main.cf we have "mydestination=verylongdomainname.dk, shortname.tc". That is all I have to do to let all users receive mail on both domains.

Do I have to enter all aliases on all 75 users, if we change from SLOX to Scalix ?

Hi Morten,

there are two separate issues here.

First, Scalix has no concept of domain ownership. It will deliver email to any rfc822 address it knows; email addr's that Scalix doesn't recognize will be dropped to sendmail and delivered according to sendmail's mail routing rules. So you don't have to set anything up in order for Scalix to accept the mails.

Depending how you do the migration, you won't have to enter much at all. I assume SLOX has an LDAP interface, so you could use omldapsync with a custom config to provision all the mailboxes with the current addresses.

Alternatively, if you create the users manually, you can use the internet address mappings (see omaddiam, and ommodu -n "username" -A) to automagically generate all the email addresses.

If you have questions, just reply, I'll keep an eye on the thread.

Cheers,

Chris

I'll just add that you can also set up the internet address mappings in SAC.

Click on settings.
Click on MAIL SERVER
Choose the General Tab.

At the bottom, you can set up mail address settings.

All you'd need to do is configure both addresses in there, and then new users would be created according to those defaults.

That might be easier than using the command line.
