* This is the modus mailing list *
Jeff,
Did anybody get back to you on this? We had a pretty successful migration
from sendmail to modusMail a year or so ago using the Modus Migrator tool.
There is a minor reference to it in the Modus3 manual, but I'd call Vircom
for more info. It ain't perfect--you have to be careful not to accidentally
get yourself blacklisted for an open relay ("Hmmm, is this guy speaking from
experience?") but it sounds like it might work for you.

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?
Jeff
