Configure mail forwarding via UDM/UMC
Last modified: 2019-01-03 07:17:36 CET
Currently mail forwarding has to be configured manually in config files. A configuration via UMC/UDM has been requested several times: http://forum.univention.de/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4057&p=14792 http://forum.univention.de/viewtopic.php?t=4070&p=14839 This feature is important for environments where the mail spool is hosted on premise, no MX entry is used and home office users use the external mailboxes at the provider. 2 features should be implemented: 1) Readressing and forwarding to external mail servers Mail is accepted as user1@local-domain.de and the forwarded to user1account@external-provider.de. The admin should be able to - choose between "copy" and "redirection/no local copy" and - specify multiple target adresses. The recipient address in the envelope will be rewritten; a MX lookup is performed for the target mail address. 2) Routing to external mail servers Mail is accepted as user1@local-domain.de and the redirected to an external mail server; similar to the mailHomeServer but easier to set up; the admin has to specify a FQDN or IP adress for the external mail server; no MX lookup is performed; recipient address in envelope is not rewritten/rewritten to mailPrimaryAddress. This feature is used, if the same DNS mail domain is used on premise and at the provider while single mailboxes for home office users are hosted at the provider only. So the admin can define, that incoming mails for home office users are redirected directly to the provider. In both scenarios postfix has to be able to authenticate itself at the external mail servers (if configured).

There also is no Ticket#. There have only been calls with the partner.
