Email Forwarders

[godie]

This is probably something very basic but for the life of me I could not find (google or otherwise) how to setup an email forwarder. We have an email alias that goes to multiple people and since Scalix has been installed we get

Mar 19 11:11:57 manage sendmail[17600]: l2JFBvtq017594: to=<support_request@$domain.com>, ctladdr=<root@$domain.com> (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=120371, relay=mail.$domain.com [$ip], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown

Scalix is working fine but no matter what I do to /etc/aliases (and run newaliases) it just rejects everything that Scalix doesn't know about. Obviously probably due to scalix listening to port 25 rather than sendmail. However how can I setup aliases in Scalix so I can get this to work. Thanks

Inside SAC, use groups. As you've seen, Scalix doesn't use Sendmail's groups.

Thanks for the quick reply however a few more questions. First when I try to create a group I get.

"The group information could not be saved"

Also will this allow me to forward mail off to offsite users? Like setup a group to forward mail to my gmail account or something similar?

Finally, in sednmail i have a certain address being piped to '/etc/smrsh/automail.pl' to get processed (osticket) is this too able to be accomplished via the SAC?

Thanks again and the program is great

Ok, lets first address why SAC doesn't work, cause it should.

Can you please cause that error again, and then post

tail -n 25 /var/opt/scalix/??/tomcat/logs/scalix-res.log

Once we fix this, you'll be able to enter the rest of the info...

I don't think there's a way via SAC to pipe data out for processing to a file, but I know it can be done from the command line. Again, lets address SAC, and then we'll go after the others.

Basically once I try to create the group it never shows up on the left hand side, (it does show up in the right pain window but if I try to add a member to the group or any of the sort I get

'The Administration Server is not responding you should check the log files'

and start all over again (group never added)

Thanks again

From the command line try running the command

Code: Select all

omshowpdl -l all

This should show you all your available groups. After you should also check the RES logs to make sure that everything is running fine.

Code: Select all

tail -n 20 /var/opt/scalix/ml/tomcat/logs/scalix-res.log

Thanks,
Jay

I see via the command the groups are getting created however they do not list on the left hand side and when I try to add a member to a group I get this error message in the log files

'2007-03-20 14:38:19,151 ERROR [RESServiceHandler.executeRESCommand:1991] Failed to obtain Remote Execution Service URL for server manage.$domain.com from the Event table

Any help is appreciated, thanks
