How can we copy emails that are directed at domain users to a respective folder with there name on it on another server for archive purposes?
Like server 1 is the mail server and server 2 is the archive server All incoming mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I want to be copied to \\server2\archivedmail\joe just for archive purposes. This will be backed up once a month to cd and put away. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Toby Reiter Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 9:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: vin Subject: [xmail] Re: dumb question At 9:56 -0400 8/27/03, vin wrote: >I am sure this has been asked before so sorry, but couldn't find it >explained. > >How do I forward a copy of every incoming mail message for a particular user >to another email address?

As Shawn said, you use the "redirect" command in a mailproc.tab file in the MAIL_ROOT/domains/domain.com/user/mailproc.tab file. It would look like this: "redirect"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[newline] If you want to keep a copy in that user's mailbox, you do so by added the command: "mailbox"[newline] on the next line. (text in [] is spacing, i.e tab and return) I don't know about having filters that selectively forward messages. The only thing I can think of is possibly using a cmdaliases file, where you would set up a filter that would check whatever it was that would determine whether it should be filtered, and then if it shouldn't be redirected, return the exit code that halts filter processing, currently 16 (although I don't know if this affects non-filter actions, or if it even works in cmdaliases files). If this would work, it would look essentially like this: "mailbox"[newline] "external"[tab]"MAIL_ROOT/bin/filter"[tab](etc.)[newline] "redirect"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[newline] The second line would call your filter with any necessary parameters (check the XMail server documentation for details). If the email should not be redirected, it returns a code of 16. Once again, I'm not sure this would work. We probably needs Davide's feedback on how this could be done. :) Have a great day and good luck with your setup, Toby -- Toby Reiter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Breezing Internet Communications http://www.breezing.com 1106 West Main St phone:434.295.2050 Charlottesville, VA 22903 fax:603.843.6931 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
