Hello Everyone,
I am trying to setup a qmail-ldap
setup to the following scenario wherein I have 2 servers - One server is
hosted at my local office premises and another server is colocated at a data center. I have total 1000
users in my company, out of which 300 users are in head office and the rest 700
users are scattered across the country in different remote regions. The server
for head office users is a local server and will be used as a local imap
server too. The colocated server will serve mostly POP3 and sometimes IMAP
access to users as per my choice.
I am facing some problem regarding the setup of
local server at my H.O - Consider this scenario
1. All mails for my domain example.com will be
received on the IDC server, and .qmail files are being used to
forward mails of all head office users to a common catchall account for my
domain, lets say [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. A user account on the local Server will download
all these mails using fetchmail to a mail directory.
3. These mails will then be re-delivered by
procmail to the appropriate local head office users' mailboxes.
4. Suppose, when a local head
office user sends a mail to someone outside the head office, it will be
forwarded to the IDC server as all rest of the mail accounts are hosted on
the IDC server.
While I am sure of implementing step 1 and 2, I am
totally confused about implementing step 3 and 4. How do I make procmail
deliver received mails to user's email inboxes?....I have read Procmail
documentation just to get a hang of how procmail does....I have gone through
some receipes in some online tutorials, but no one matches close to my
requirement.... The main question I have is - How will my mail system find
out if the user to whom I am sending mail is a local user or remote
user, and that whether his account exists on IDC server and not, so
accordingly the mail gets forwarded to colocated server automatically...?
I would highly appreciate if anyone can guide me on
how and what configuration will be needed in qmail-ldap setup in order to
achieve step 4 ...For step 3, I am aware that probably expecting help from
a qmail-ldap list on procmail might be too big an ask, but if someone can guide
me to a procmail tut around that could have me get closer...it would be
great.
Thanks n Regards,
Amit
