Topic: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

Hello all together,

unless i have the money for iRedAdmin Pro LDAP i need to get done this manually.

I managed to create Maillists and Aliases for one domain, which work great.
but i have 9 Domains and i want to send a mail to me@domain2.com which should be redirected to me@domain1.com - same for domain3 and so on.
so me@domain1.com is my mailadress and the others are aliases.
but i dont want to create every alias for every domain. instead i want to create ONE alias like *@domain2.com which redirects every mail to the corresponding mailadress on domain1.com. (i got done this in postfixadmin but now i have LDAP)

Is there a way to get this done in phpLDAPAdmin?

Thanks for every help.

BTW. i didnt tried *@domain2.com with redirect to *@domain1.com yet - dont wanna kill something^^

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

Several ways to achieve this.

- Create alias in Postfix directly, it works as you described. Reference: http://www.postfix.org/virtual.5.html
- Create 9 domains, and add a catchall account for domain2.com ... domain9.com.
- Create alias domain with iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP, then what you need to do is managing mail accounts under one domain.

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

Thanks for your answers,

as we´re just a Start-up Company with very limited budget we´re unable to buy iRedAdmin PRO LDAP at the moment, so i need a "free" way to achieve this.
BTW: We´re already planning to buy a lifetime license by Q1 2012 as i really like iRedAdmin and iam responsible for those things in our company.

So your second mark means, i can create a catchall mailadress within iredadmin non-pro?
or is it possible to create one with phpLDAPAdmin?
Or how does it look like in postfix? postmap?

Thank you for your great help!

I mean with phpLDAPadmin. iRedAdmin open source edition doesn't have this feature.

There's wiki tutorial shows how to create catch-all account with phpLDAPadmin, Hope it helps:
http://iredmail.org/wiki/index.php?titl … /Catch-all

After you created catch-all account, all emails sent to non-exist mail users will be sent to this catch-all account.

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

Hi ZhangHuangbin,

iam sorry if we misunderstood each other but the catchall thing youve mentioned isnt that what iam looking for.

in case i have a domain "domain1.com" with several users (real people) for example user1@domain1.com which is a normal Mailbox.

now this user should be able to receive mail on user1@domain2.com but this has to be an "alias" if you want. I know i should be able to create an alias for each user on each domainX.com (X/=1) but with some more users this is a really time consuming work.

is there a way in phpLDAPAdmin to create a wildcard-alias for each domain like *@domain2.com -> *@domain1.com so user1@domain2.com will be redirected to user1@domain1.com inbox.
and every other mail will be redirected for ex. maillist2@domain2.com if theres NO maillist2@domain1.com.

as well as maillists should work for example list1@domain2.com should also be redirected to list1@domain1.com and then to every group member of this list in domain1.com.

is this possible? if yes, please help me how to configure this - i tried about 2 hours now, but didnt get a working result sad

Thank you for any help!

Martin

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

I didn't configure similar feature before, no idea yet. Sorry.

What i can remember is domain alias + catch-all account, i think it should be enough.

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

It must work - i configured this with postifxadmin before.
its just a Domain-Alias as i remember correctly.

so domain2.com is a domain alias for domain1.com - mails to user1@domain2.com will be redirected to user1@domain1.com.

Is this possible with LDAP?

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

As mentioned in early posts, domain alias works fine with LDAP, you can manage alias domains with iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP if you purchased it, otherwise you have to manage it with phpLDAPadmin.

Thank you!

Re: phpLDAPAdmin Wilcard Domain Alias or Wildcard Mail Alias

It will store a new value in primary domain:

domainAliasName: alias.domain.com

Then add a new email address for all email accounts. For example, mail user will has new attribute/value pair:

mail: username@primary.domain.com
shadowAddress: username@alias.domain.com
