Structural Mail delivery / Mailing-Liste

Submitted by Yanosz (not verified) on Sat, 2009/11/07 - 18:10.

Hello,

nice work. Your router config looks quite impressive.
But as far as I unterstand it, it relies on attributes for mail delivery - the ldap structure itself seems to be ignored. Is that right?
Im thinking of dn='cn=joe,dc=a,dc=local' or dn='cn=joe,dc=z,dc=local" are two different persons (joe@a.local und joe@b.local).

Furthermore: Can emails be delivered to posixGroups (mail alias for all members) or ou's (mail alias for all accounts in subtree)?

Thanks in advance,

Keep smiling

Interesting development

Hi,

I followed a number of these kind of howto's and i'm happy to say that the are pretty clear in their purpose. But i'm looking for some kind of guide that shows me when a user is created in LDAP that automaticly an e-mail account is created as wel.
Is this package the answer to it ? Cause its not totally clear to me how to use this package.
If so then i'd like to know how to implement this on an existing environment which already has LDAP+samba working together using exim4.
I'm well known with the basics of linux but no expert so if i'm making conclusions to fast let me know.

Thumbs up ^^
