If I create a distribution group using OpenChange, do standard IMAP users also get access to that group?

I'm a bit confused on how tightly integrated everything is with OpenChnage/SOGo/IMAP/SMTP, etc.


In creating a distribution list you are supposed to assign an email address to it either explicitly or the system auto-assigns one. From that point any email sent to that email address is forwarded to all members of the distribution list. Try sending an email and see if it works.

Also Zentyal which is built on openchange and sogo, supports distribution lists, see here: https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/En/4.1/OpenChange_%28Microsoft%28R%29_Exchange_Server_protocol_implementation%29

Hi,

I've managed to create a distribution group, with an email address, but the mail bounces 'no valid user'.

There's gotta be something I'm missing. It can't be this complex to add users and distribution groups to openchnage. Does anyone else do it?

Here is some more info on groups in sogo!

http://www.sogo.nu/nc/support/faq/article/how-are-groups-handled-in-sogo.html
"

From the version 1.0.2 of SOGo, groups are now supported. Groups *have* to be defined in an LDAP server and *must* have an email address. They can be used in SOGo when :

 * defining ACLs on calendars and address books
 * scheduling meetings

When either settings ACLs or scheduling a meeting, a resource (person, group, room, etc.) has to be specified. Upon save, SOGo will lookup the LDAP entry of that particular resource in order to detect if a group was specified. To detect if a group was specified, SOGo will look at the /objectClass/ attributes of the returned entry. If one of the /objectClass/ attribute is equal to /group/, /groupOfNames/, /groupOfUniqueNames/ or /posixGroup/, the entry is considered to be a group.

When scheduling a meeting with a group, SOGo will decompose the group as soon as the event is saved. Groups decomposition consist of fetching the members of the groups - replacing groups with their members in the attendees list.

As an exemple, if you have a "management" group defined in your LDAP server as :

dn: cn=management,ou=groups,dc=inverse,dc=ca
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
cn: management
mail: [email protected]
member: cn=bob,ou=people,dc=inverse,dc=ca
member: cn=alice,ou=people,dc=inverse,dc=ca

When you actually add "/[email protected]/" in the attendee list while creating an event, Bob and Alice will actually receive the invitation and will be present in the attendee list.

Note that the groups support is a work in progress. Support for dynamic groups needs to be added.

You should post a bug about creating distribution groups for sogo, on command line with openchange commands, mail addresses expanding incorrectly, with full details. It's a too essential of a feature for it not to be working smoothly.
