Hi,
Recently, one of our staff complained that she is not receiving emails. I had to look on user preference tab to see if unknowingly she enabled email forwarding.
From the preference tab no email forwarding was enabled. So i had to look via command line with grep option.
I came to find out all mails are being forwarded to yahoo email account without leaving a copy of sent email.
I asked her if she knows the address and she said NO.
Therefore, i had to investigate further. Then i came to find out through zimbra admin interface. On her account, email forwarding was enabled without leaving a copy.

Now the question is how come it's not shown on user preference tab?
I only saw it through admin interface.

Also, how can i list all address that have email forwading address?
I suspect someone else might be having the same problem without knowledge.
Regards

Try this:
for account in `zmprov -l gaa`; do zmprov ga $account zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress; done

Thank for the reply.
But suggested solution did not solve my problem. It lists all mail address available while I only want to see forward address.
e.g;
a@example.com forward to x@yahoo.com

b@example.com
Now i only want to see a@example.com with forward address x@yahoo.com. b@example.com should be skipped.

Regards

#!/bin/sh

for account in `zmprov -l gaa`; do
forwardingaddress=`zmprov ga $account |grep 'zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress' |sed 's/zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress: //'`
if [ "$forwardingaddress" != "" ]; then
echo "$account is forwarded to $forwardingaddress"
else
forwardingaddress=""
fi
done

It works fine for me, create the file as root user (then chmod +x) then switch to the Zimbra user (su - zimbra) and run the script with "sh +x tour_filename", what happens? You could also try the one line script in the second post (as the zimbra user) and see if that actually runs.

Hi,

Use zimbraMailSieve and parse 'redirect'.
