[Kroupware] Kolab Distribution Lists - Multiple Domains - Multiple Aliases

[Christopher Lewis]

Okay, now that I'm really trying to get this system working, I have a few 
questions and a few answers.  I'll ask the questions first:

Question 1)  Does Kolab currently support distribution lists?  For example, if 
my manager sends mail to marketing at mydomain.com, each of my marketing people 
will get a copy of that message.  How can I allow multiple recipients of a 
single e-mail address?

Question 2)  Following up on the multiple recipients question, can the Kolab 
administration pages be modified to store multiple e-mail recipients and 
multiple aliases?  The same method for multiple recipients could also be used 
to add multiple alias support, correct?

Question 3)  Now, to follow up on question 2, does the LDAP schema need to be 
modified to allow for this?  Where is all this information stored, anyway?

Question 4)  Since postfix already supports multiple domains and virtual 
users, why is multiple domain support such a problem?  

Thanks in advance for any tips, suggestions and answers.

Okay, the 2 issues I do have answers for are multiple aliases and multiple 
domains.  I am strictly editing configuration files, I have not changed any 
web pages yet.  I might be able to work on that later.

Multiple Domains)  In order to receive mail for multiple domains, the template 
file $kolab_root/etc/kolab/main.cf.template needs to be modified.  Simply add 
your extra domains to the end of the line that begins with mydestination.  
Example:  
mydestination=@@@postfix-mydestination@@@ domain2.com domain3.com
This allows mail to be accepted for the Kolab domain, as well as domain2.com 
and domain3.com.  E-mail addresses and aliases entered for any of these 
domains will receive mail.  E-mail seems to be correctly routed from the 
local server as well as from external servers.

Multiple Aliases)  This was discussed before, and my information is exactly 
the same.  Thanks go out to the original poster, unfortunately I can't find 
that post.  Anyway, the file in question is 
$kolab_root/etc/kolab/virtual.template.  Simply add your alias mapping to the 
end of this file.  Example:
alias at domain.com  user at domain.com
alias at domain2.com  user at domain.com

The second alias example is a reference for multiple domain configurations.

The experts on this list may already know about this information, but I didn't 
find it immediately available.  Perhaps this could be written up as a HowTo 
for the web site?

Thanks again for all the help I have gotten on this list.  Thanks to the 
Kroupware group for all the hard work and for giving us a great product (soon 
to be *Really Great*).
