Re: e-mail aliases

Of course you can do it with phpLDAPadmin. Sample LDIF data of alias account:

dn: mail=testing@demo.iredmail.org,ou=Aliases,domainName=demo.iredmail.org,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org
accountStatus: active
cn: testing
enabledService: mail
enabledService: deliver
mail: testing@demo.iredmail.org
mailForwardingAddress: user2@demo.iredmail.org
mailForwardingAddress: user1@gmail.com
mailForwardingAddress: user1@demo.iredmail.org
objectClass: mailAlias

Hope it's useful for you.

Re: e-mail aliases

So this could be used in place of the usual /etc/aliases that most systems use correct? I am looking to move to iRedMail here soon but this is one of the questions I had also. Our current setup uses the /etc/aliases to do things like longer usernames, groups, etc.

Re: e-mail aliases

You can also use /etc/aliases in iRedMail.

Re: e-mail aliases

There is an alias table with a working example. You can modify with phpmyadmin.
