Topic: Support for mail-groups with MySQL-Backend

Hi,

is there a possibulity to use mail-groups when using the MySQL-Backend?
I did not think about it when i decided to use MySQL as backend for iRedMail, but to manage alle distribution lists through aliases is a bit annoying wink

Regards,
Thomas

Sure. The problem remains. Every distribution list is seperated from the user list. When a user is deleted, the distribution list does not automatically know about it. This is why groups are so handy wink

This is perfertly solved in OpenLDAP backend solution. Maybe you'd like to try LDAP solution in a VMware/OpenVZ/Xen guest for testing smile

Read more about mail list/group implementation in LDAP backend solution:
http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic60-w … 90610.html

And iRed*Admin* will support LDAP-based mail list.

PS: iRedMail is easy to integrate Windows Active Directory, and support mail groups/list too.
