so is there any resolution to this?
this seems like such a big and obvious feature that any email system should have ...
I should add that it seems like common sense to enable users to send both as a variety of personal aliases and also as a group email alias.
Simple example:
Kathy works in purchasing and billing for LocalCompany which is a subsidiary of InternationalCompany. As a purchasing representative, sometimes she purchases for both the local company and for the international umbrella company. She has personal email address
kathy@localcompany.com and
kathy@internationalcompany.com. When making purchases, she wants to use the domain that matches the entity making the purchase, so as not to confuse the supplier.
She is also a member of the purchasing and billing groups, and therefore receives email sent to the group email
billing@localcompany.com and
purchasing@localcompany.com. Other people work in the department, so sometimes she wants to send email from the group as a whole, and not from her personal email, because she wants replies to go to the group and not just directly to her email address where only she would be able to read it.
Is this such an uncommon situation that Zentyal does not think it needs to be supported?
