I've mostly got our dovecot+postfix+SOGo+openldap open source
groupware replacement working the way I want it to; we're replacing
GroupWise in our organization and I'm thrilled to be doing it. I'm
supporting about 1,000 active staff users (and another 6,000 student
accounts).
I've got e-mail and calendar sharing working, and it does what it says
it will do, but it is (go figure) different in concept from Proxy
access under GroupWise. In GroupWise, I can give my secretary proxy
access to my account and she can read all of my folders, see my
calendars, and send e-mail as me. To someone that receives an e-mail
or appointment request from her while she's proxied to me, there's no
distinction at all.
Is there a way to mimic this sort of functionality with the tools I've
chosen? I've figured out that I can add additional 'mail' attributes
to the secretary's record, and those addresses are available as
drop-down choices in the SOGo web interface, but with the secretary's
name and not the manager.
For calendar sharing, it'll all ok - just set the access rights to
"modify" and let the user create/delete events and tasks.
As for emails, you're right that the email address will be the right
one, but not the real name.
For this, SOGo should allow users to manange other mail identities -
which isn't supported right now but could be added relatively easily.
And many thanks to the developers involved for writing and making
available such amazingly good software. Eliminating the license fees
we've been paying to Novell is allowing me to save a technician that
surely would have been eliminated in budget cuts this year.
Good to know! Sad that Novell will likely fire one on their side for
lack of revenue ;-)
