Hello!
I am trying to consolidate multiple mail servers w/ assort MTAs to one
established mail serverr with Courier-MTA. Moving mail from mbox format
went beautifully with mb2mb, but now I have run into a stumper.
Since most of the machines I am conslidating were small user run systems,
there were a number of cases where bad usernames were chosen - joe, john
ect. As I consolidate it looks like there will be a number of overlapping
usernames. The main server has a good username policy, but I want to be
able to switch over mail delivery with minimal interrruption and without
my users having to send out a warning to all their contacts that their
email has changed, so I need to be able to re-reoute [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think the solution is to use maildrop with a filter but it looks like a
pretty steep learning curve on the maildrop filter scripting language.
Has any one run into a similar situation?
I thouht that it would be as simple as doing a .mailfilter that looked
like this:
if ( /^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
{
to "/home/jsmith/Maildir"
}
But when I test it as a .mailfilter in a testing account it appears that
since the user doesn't have write access to the other users Maildir it
just deffers delivery. (tried it with both suid and guid for maildrop)
I don't want to put it in maildroprc till i'm sure all is working
correctly for fear that I could mess up ALL my delivery ;)
Is there an easy way to bounce or otherwise redirect the mail?
something like
to | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but I'm just not sure.
Thanks for any suggestions! Just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
