Email forwarding

[xzased]

How can I forward emails to example@hotmail account? I have set the mail server which is working nice so far, and I have an account but I cant figure out how to forward emails to another account.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reminder. I also had the same doubt.

I'm afraid this feature is not accomplished. However, there is a ticket [1] talking about this issue...

It could be move to a feature request.

hmmm... meanwhile, is there a way to do this "manually"? I know in a common postfix install, you can do this by modifying
/etc/postfix/virtual , which is specified in main.cf by alias_maps I think. however, in ebox, it points to ldap:valiases.

BIG EDIT!!!

Ok. I got it to work now. It now stores a copy in the mailbox, what I did was

1. sudo nano /etc/postfix/virtual
2. added the mail addresses to forward. ie   test@mydomain.com   pepe@hotmail.com,test@mydomain.com
3. Save the file and edit the line virtual_alias_maps in /etc/postfix/main.cf. The original is:
     virtual_alias_maps = ldap:valiases     change it to     virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual, ldap:valiases

4. Run: sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual, then reload postfix: sudo postfix reload

And thats it, now all mail to test@mydomain.com goes to pepe@hotmail.com and a copy is stored for the original destination.

Thanks again!

I think it's beter to edit not "/etc/postfix/main.cf" but "/usr/share/ebox/stubs/mail/main.cf.mas", isn't it?

Yes, it's better to edit the .mas template if you don't want to lose changes after restarts. There is a typo in your path, it's "stubs" instead of "stumb"
