Hi<br><br>I have created issue #1353 as requested.<br><br>I also proposed a new way to do to catchall : juste add @<a href="http://mydomain.com">mydomain.com</a> as an alias for the mailbox you choose as the cachall one.<br>
It's so simple :-)<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/8/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Bernhard Reiter</b> <<a href="mailto:bernhard@intevation.de">bernhard@intevation.de</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</a><br>><br>> into the addressbook to make these entries easier to manage, and not always<br>> edit the virtual.template file.<br>> It was working<br>> Finally I moved the "catchall" into the addressbook

<br>> "alias" <a href="mailto:catchall@mydomain.com">catchall@mydomain.com</a> inside the ldap database to keep unicity, I<br>> cannot redirect emails into catchall mailbox and must use the plus<br>> addressing and then make the delivery into a subfolder.

<a href="http://ldapvirtual.cf">ldapvirtual.cf</a><br>needs to be narrowed to exclude cn=external.<br><br>Can you file an issue with our tracker? That would be nice.<br><br><br>> I dont thing this is a good idea to put "system" mapping into the address

virtual.template<br>should be sufficient as this is not a setting you need to change everyday.<br>The webinterface mainly is for regular common tasks,<br>for other it can easily more complicated then doing good.<br><br>> I good idea to separate system mapping entries from normal addressbook
<br>> entries is to add a ldap field for normal address book entries and add this<br>> field as a selector inside <a href="http://ldapvirtual.cf">ldapvirtual.cf</a> file.<br><br>Addressbook entries should be seperated by haning below cn=external.
<br><br>> Maybe this could be also a security hole ?<br><br>Probably not as only people with higher rights can manipulate such entries.<br><br>> And modifying the ldap filter to<br>> only use entries of class kolabInetOrgPerson resolve it.
<br><br>The webinterface will create as<br>objectClass: kolabInetOrgPerson<br>as well.<br><br>> And how does kolabgui and kolabd react when they meet mail of the form "<br>> <a href="mailto:catchall+unexistingfolder@asxnet.loc">
catchall+unexistingfolder@asxnet.loc</a>" does it try create a cyrus mailbox<br>> for catchall+unexistingfolder ?<br>> Is-it smart and just try to create a<br>> catchall mailbox ? Or does this case was not thought before ?
<br><br>I think Cyrus will reject the email and not create a mailbox.<br><br>> Any comment ?<br><br>Thanks for spotting this, it is indeed an interesting use of the features.<br><br>Bernhard<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
