hello

in the webmail client.. i made an three identities for me

[email protected] (default)
[email protected]
[email protected]

if a friend sends emails to rene@.. it works and i get the email.. but if emails are send to info or test the mailserver refuses the email...

what do i do wrong

Hi there,

The identities are only for the information on who sent the email on the outgoing email. If you want to have several inboxes, you will have to set up more accounts, or aliases.

Cheers,

Cheese McBoy

can you give me an example of ou to use the aliases file

Rene

Yep, I can:

bubba:/etc# cat aliases
# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster: admin
root: admin

The first line (the comment) is what you should concentrate on.
In my case, all I did was make sure that emails to root (cron notifications mostly) were redirected to admin, who has a web account...

Cheers,

Cheesy

EDIT:
I just read my post and realized it might have come across a bit cryptic and/or elitistic. Sorry...

Add a line like: in order to get emails sent to john to appear in sue's inbox.
To learn more type in:

thanks you...

now i know the problem.. i have here Kerio that farward non excisting emails to the bubba server.... it blocked my emails...

question

i have a retarded family member...so i want all his emails not only to go to him but a copy to me

how can i do that, can aliases do this for me too

hello does this line work too in /etc/aliasses

extern: [email protected]

Rene

If you want a copy to multiple addresses, just add them comma separated:

mailalias: bubbauser1, bubbauser2, [email protected].

Do not forget to run "newaliases" when you have updated your alias-file.

Hi there pa,

I did not reply to the post about multiple recipients because I have not tried it myself and I can imagine it could cause a recursive nightmare and infinite loop hell...

As I understood it, this is what was required:
mailuser1: mailuser1, mailuser2

Is this safe?

Cheers,

Cheese
