Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server

If the user is in location 2 then you set
a forward on the account in location 1 for their account like you would forward
to hotmail or yahoo but add the host name to the front of the domain.
And example:
Their email address to the world would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] si I send to [EMAIL
PROTECTED] It enters the server for
that MX record which is server1. She has an account there but it’s
not her’s. She picks up from server2. So her account on
server1 has a forward set to forward all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If your dns
is setup correctly with server2 address, then this “Should” work.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the input. I knew that subdomain/alias domains can do this job, but
asking the users change the email addresses to subdomain might be a critical
mass.
I think copy the certain folders to Site B server would be much more effective,
but I worry that the emails might be too large, and might hang the VPN
tunneling...
anyone have done this before??
Thanks

I never even though about
using the hostname in the forward address. That's exactly what I
wanted. I'm not sure if Merak will do hostname (easy to test) but it
certainly will do alias domains. Thanks LOADS!!!
Gabriel, does this help you? I think I have enough info to be able

Yes - at least in qmailadmin when you check the forward to box it has the
option of keeping a copy locally...which you don't have to

Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server
This will accomplish what you are trying todo. The forward will be transparent to the user. You only use the forward to get the email on the correct server. If I read all correctly this will give you exactly what you want/need - per user option where the email will go (user on site A will be normal user, user on site B will be forward user ) - no overhead on the vpn link Just try it out I would say.. Am sure it will make your day..

Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server
You could do the same on siteB for the users that are on siteA, so that mailing between users on A and user on B will work also. So just add abc.com and server2.abc.com on siteB And add abc.com and server1.abc.com on siteB On server2 you add all users with forward to siteA that are on siteA on server1 you add all users with forward to siteB that are on siteB And their own specific users. It would be nice to have mail.abc.com point to server1.abc.com for the users on siteA and mail.abc.com point to server2.abc.com for the users on siteB You could do that with 2 dns servers or with a zone file per subnet in bind (no idea how that exactly works but I know it is possible). All users then can login with just [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leaves imo one possible issue, if people roam between the 2 locations. But I do not know if that is the case. If so that can also be solved, for example by assinging them a dns server thru dhcp based on their normal location and not on their current location.

RE: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server
You shouldn't need to do anything on that server (server2) for mary to get her mail. Post offices can accept mail addressed like @abc.com because the MX record tells the sending post office to direct it to server1.abc.com. A post office will also accept mail addressed like @server2.abc.com but this time the sending post office doesn't need the MX record because you already told it the host part (server2). In affect, you are bypassing the MX by telling it to send to a specific server. Now, a small twist: When you put a domain into a post office, you are making that the authoritative server for mail on that domain. IF you have Fred in location 1 and Mary needs to send mail to him, you will need to have the same type of forward setup in server2. This way, if Mary sends to Fred, Mary's local post office (server2) has an account for Fred, but IT has the same type of forward only backwards ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Now you will have full 2 way internal email and external access. Like Jean-Paul said, try it. I think once you see it work, you'll understand. _ From: Gabriel Lai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 11:04 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server does that means that in Site B server, I will alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? if site b is server2.abc.com, how the users going to accept those emails? using [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] sorry, i'm still trying to understand.

RE: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server
Lol, Jean-Paul and I just said the same thing. Although what you say about the DNS is true and possible, I wouldn't suggest it yet until the basic forward gets working. It will only add another layer of confusion at this point. _ From: Jean-Paul van de Plasse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 11:16 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Serverto Secondary Server You could do the same on siteB for the users that are on siteA, so that mailing between users on A and user on B will work also. So just add abc.com and server2.abc.com on siteB And add abc.com and server1.abc.com on siteB On server2 you add all users with forward to siteA that are on siteA on server1 you add all users with forward to siteB that are on siteB And their own specific users. It would be nice to have mail.abc.com point to server1.abc.com for the users on siteA and mail.abc.com point to server2.abc.com for the users on siteB You could do that with 2 dns servers or with a zone file per subnet in bind (no idea how that exactly works but I know it is possible). All users then can login with just [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leaves imo one possible issue, if people roam between the 2 locations. But I do not know if that is the case. If so that can also be solved, for example by assinging them a dns server thru dhcp based on their normal location and not on their current location.
