[Kolab-devel] forwarding mails to external addresses

[Mike Gabriel]

hi there,

will there be (or is there already) built-in support for mail  
forwarding to external addresses? when people leave my server they  
still want mails posted to their old address (on my server) to be  
forwarded to their new address (on someone else's server). with my  
former mailsystem i just added some mail forwards to LDAP and postfix  
used LDAP as virtual lookup table.

i added this functionality to LDAP+postfix by some hacks, but it would  
be much nicer (also for my customers who run their own kolab server)  
if this could be configurable TTW (kolab-webadmin).

here is my postfix stanza:

(root at grimnir) {~} # cat /etc/kolab/templates/ldapforwarding.cf.template
KOLAB_META_START
TARGET=/etc/postfix/ldapforwarding.cf
PERMISSIONS=0640
OWNERSHIP=root:root
KOLAB_META_END
