Ah I see, but, what happens if you run a larger mailserver with lots of groups and quite a lot of users, And that way is not very storage efficent... And the field is only 250 chars long. I think I still would want a patch to make dbmail behave the way I suggested since its more efficient that way.
But I guess the way it works now should suffice until I find myself a programmer :) Or the developers concider my suggestion -----Original Message----- From: Michael Häusler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 3 maj 2004 22:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: DBMAIL Developers Mailinglist Subject: Re: [Dbmail-dev] Feature suggestion and/or help with patch Hi Johnny, johnny wrote: > what i want to do is to be able to create one or more groups that > makes me able to add john jordan and kevin to that group and give them > an alias, something like [EMAIL PROTECTED], and by mailing to that > mail adress, those 3 will recieve a copy of the mail with headers > intact. > > if this feature doesnt exist the best way i think to go about this is > to patch dbmail-smtpd and have it perform the following logic It seems to me, that what you are looking for are mail reflectors. These are already possible with dbmail. You just have to insert the following values into your aliases table: alias | deliver_to ----------------------+---------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Btw, you do not need to create a user or mailbox for webdev. These entries in aliases will suffice. Best regards, Michael
