LDAP routing.
in [Sendmail]

From: Jim Howell on 7 Jul 2010 15:38 Hi, We are currently switching to LDAP routing via Sendmail. We currently allow users to forward their email to multiple accounts. It appears that the mailRoutingAddress attribute is a single value attribute and can only forward to one account. How could I setup forwarding to multiple accounts? Thanks.. Jim Howell

How could I setup > forwarding to multiple accounts? Thanks.. It is my (mis)understanding (I've never used LDAP routing) that LDAP routing is (primarily) used for inbound email routing. At least in such as to what internal server should the message be routed to. With this in mind, can't you continue using .forward files on individual servers? I would think that LDAP routing would get the mail to the proper internal server that would then forward the message on out to any number of destinations like you are currently doing. Grant. . . .
From: Jim Howell on 7 Jul 2010 16:33 Hi, Yes, these are primarily for inbound email to be forwarded to where the user wants it to go. Users don't have accounts on the servers so a .forward isn't viable. Jim Grant Taylor wrote: > On 07/07/10 14:38, Jim Howell wrote: >> We are currently switching to LDAP routing via Sendmail.

[ e.g. Cyrus or Dovecot ] It should allow users to select multiple forwarding addresses themselves. -- [pl>en Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu : Andrzej.Filip(a)gmail.com http://open-sendmail.sourceforge.net/ http://anfi.homeunix.org/ He who despises himself nevertheless esteems himself as a self-despiser. -- Friedrich Nietzsche |
