On our old server (CentOS 6.9 with OpenWebMail) I created mail lists for my users by adding an alias to /etc/aliases as follows:
maillist1: :include:/var/lib/samba/maillists/maillist1.txt
This allowed the no-so-technical users to add/update the mail lists via SAMBA and was a pretty elegant solution.
With iRedmail I am finding non-existent email addresses are rejected before they get to postfix for delivery. I've tried editing/adding a Global Address Book using phpldapadmin but it is not working according the the documentation at http://www.iredmail.org/docs/ldap.add.mail.list.html. Also, adding 112 email addresses that way is tedious and prone to error.
Is there a batch method for setting up Global Address Books or, even better, a way to allow users to email aliases defined in a text file such as my example above?
