Handling multiple alternate e-mail addresses

ratko · Post by **ratko** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 4:59 am

I've just set new Zimbra box, and have problem.

Must migrate users from old mail server to Zimbra server, but every user already have several alternate e-mail addresses like:
user@host1.domain1.domain.com

user@domain1.domain.com

user@domain.com
Zimbra server has name:

host2.domain1.domain.com
and host1.domain1.domain.com is still up and running.
How I can configure Zimbra to handle all this mail domain and all users have same environment once when I switch mail servers...
Any help?

Add a new domain to the Zimbra server in the Admin UI then add an alias for each user/domain that they need.

I've solve this problem...
zmprov cd domain1.domain.com zimbraDomainType alias
zmprov cd domain.com zimbraDomainType alias
zmprov md domain1.domain.com zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @domain1.domain.com zimbraMailCatchAllForwardingAddress @host1.domain1.domain.com
zmprov md domain.com zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @domain.com zimbraMailCatchAllForwardingAddress @host1.domain1.domain.com

Yes, that's the other way of doing it.

Be careful with using a catchall address as it's a favourite with spammers although the anti-spam stuff in Zimbra should be good enough to most (if not all) of it.
