Forward to multiple users
« on: February 12, 2018, 02:12:32 PM »
Is it possible to forward the emails received by a user to various other users?
In the server-manager panel (collaboration>users>modify) there is the voice to forward the emails; Can I specify multiple email addresses (for example with user1@domain,user2@domain or user1@domain;user2@domain)?

TIA

no

but there's a simple workaround
create all the users you need and set them to forward to thei real email
create a group including all those users
forward the email to group@

the original user/account must not be part of the group itself

As pointed Stefano this is the way.

to note:
this would be possible to ask a NFR to update the manager rule and accept , to separat list of emails.
then the template fragment /etc/e-smith/templates-user/.qmail/70Forward will have to be updated to output multiple line this way
&email1
&email2
&email3



just fill a bug for NFR

Ty all, nice workaround and yes... and NFR can be a good start-point for this weekend... :)
