I would recommend the route of doing email forwarding through creating
user accounts and forwarding the mail.
As your using Rodopi I would recommend that you look at integrating
Rodopi with the extended database instead of the default Rodopi
integration. The extended database allows to hold a much larger number
of fields which you can centralize in you Rodopi database. The best way
to handle this is to use a second SQL Server for the Modus Mail database
and use SQL event Scripts in Rodopi. However, if you are a low user
company you may be able to use a single database for both Rodopi and
Modus Mail (by setting up a view for Modus to access). You should be
aware that both rodopi and Modus Mail will poll the database frequently
and this might hit performance if you have a large number of records.
If you want further advice email me off list.

Subject: [Modus] Managing mailboxes, lists and email forwarding
* This is the modus mailing list *
I have used sendmail/cucipop for 8+ years without too many problems in
my ISP.
However, I have begun the migration of switching to ModusMail to support
the integrated webmail, filtering, quarantine and ODBC support.
Do any of you offer email forwarding service? If the user email address
will no longer be checked with POP3...and email is to be forwarded
elsewhere from some point on...how do you handle it? Keep the mailbox
and
set it to forward? Or do you use a global alias? I am considering
exporting my email forwarding data to a text file with:
originemailaddress : destinationemailaddress
and then somehow importing that into the GUI ModusMail console.
Then the customer service people can enter an email forwarding plan in
our
RODOPI...and then I can write a job to periodically build a new global
aliases text file and import it on a scheduled basis to ModusMail.
Tho...I
would not want to do it on the GUI console...I would prefer to use
something I can schedule and automate.
It was suggested to me if I wanted to define an email address that
forwarded email to multiple addresses to use a mailbox and set it to not
hold copies of email...put a highly random password on the mailbox...and
put all the recipients in the forward line. I did do that...but it
seems
like I should have used a list to do that instead.
I am just looking for some advice from you on how you handle this stuff.
If you do not use the ModusMail GUI console...do you do your maintenance
in
the WebAdmin module?
