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

2007-09-03 Thread Phil Leinhauser
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.

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.

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.

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

2007-09-03 Thread Phil Leinhauser
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.

2007-09-03 Thread Jean-Paul van de Plasse
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..

  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??

They don't have to do that..

If you just forward their email to siteb.domain all 
else can stay the same

  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

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

2007-08-30 Thread Helmut Fritz
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 do.  So it could
come into the qmail server and be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  You
would have to specify the host's fqdn since mx records point to qmail.  I am
NOT sure if merak would accept it with the fqdn of the host though.  I don't
think qmail will, but someone else with more knowledge could respond to that
point.  It might be just as simple as creating an alias domain (you can in
qmail) of merak.domain1.com aliases to domain1.com on merak.  Hope that
makes sense...and helps.

That last got sent too early

I'm actually looking for a similar solution.  I want to make a slow
migration from my current post office software.

Both of my servers are in same location.  Let me explain what I want to do
and maybe that will help Gabriel too.

I have Qmail on one machine and Merak on the other.  I have about 40 domains
in Merak.
- If I added domain1.com to Qmail and it already had it with users in Merak.
I want to duplicate the users in Qmail and I'll set the MX to send into
Qmail.

- On a user by user basis I want to move the users storage into Qmail to
make it as transparent to them as possible.  So currently say I have 4 users
all in Merak for domain1.com.  I want to have the same 4 users in Qmail but
when mail comes in, forward the specific accounts to another host as the
accounts move.

I'm envisioning this in the middle of the process:
Accounts in Qmail Accounts in Merak
MaryMary
Forward to Merak
Joe  Joe
Stay in Qmail
Fred Fred   Stay
in Qmail
JaneJane
Forward to Merak


Isn't there a setting somewhere in the account properties to forward (not
copy) an account to another host and NOT store it locally?

I'm thinking I saw the somewhere but I can't recall now.  I know I can
forward the entire domain.  This is why I asked a while back what the order
of operations is in Qmail.  If it processes smtproutes before local accounts
or after.

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

2007-08-30 Thread Phil Leinhauser
That last got sent too early

I'm actually looking for a similar solution.  I want to make a slow migration 
from my current post office software.

Both of my servers are in same location.  Let me explain what I want to do and 
maybe that will help Gabriel too.

I have Qmail on one machine and Merak on the other.  I have about 40 domains in 
Merak.
- If I added domain1.com to Qmail and it already had it with users in Merak.  I 
want to duplicate the users in Qmail and I'll set the MX to send into Qmail.

- On a user by user basis I want to move the users storage into Qmail to make 
it as transparent to them as possible.  So currently say I have 4 users all in 
Merak for domain1.com.  I want to have the same 4 users in Qmail but when mail 
comes in, forward the specific accounts to another host as the accounts move.

I'm envisioning this in the middle of the process:
Accounts in Qmail Accounts in Merak
MaryMary  Forward 
to Merak
Joe  Joe Stay 
in Qmail
Fred Fred   Stay in 
Qmail
JaneJane  Forward 
to Merak


Isn't there a setting somewhere in the account properties to forward (not copy) 
an account to another host and NOT store it locally?

I'm thinking I saw the somewhere but I can't recall now.  I know I can forward 
the entire domain.  This is why I asked a while back what the order of 
operations is in Qmail.  If it processes smtproutes before local accounts or 
after.

Phil

Isn't there a way to have specific users emails forwarded to another host 
directly?  This would avoid any lag in the folder sync process.
