Forward instead of Redirect

Post by mhammett »

I've searched Google, but was unsuccessful in finding what I needed.

How can I get Zimbra to forward (not redirect) email to a given account?
Can I get a distribution list to rewrite the from?

I checked in the UI and CLI and didn't see much of help, but I'm by no means an expert at it.


THe problem is that companies are clamping down on SPF, DKIM, DEMARC, etc. so a redirect doesn't usually work anymore.

If you want to avoid SPF issues (and more than SPF) you have to rewrite headers.
AFAIK, this can be done by SRS: http://www.open-spf.org/SRS/

Unfortunately, there's no SRS support in Zimbra (it's been a RFE for years).

DKIM is forward-resilient, only SPF should fail. If DKIM remains intact, so should DMARC.

Hi

Is there anything going on with that topic? Today we're facing most of the forward do not work anymore for external eMail addresses (SPF). So there is a new forward needed with rewritten envelop-address.

I noticed, If I create a filter with MailTo action zimbra does the rewriting ... this can be a workaround.

Please Upvoters ZRFE-169 Forward instead of Redirect

Please upvote the zref 169 ... if it would be possible to just create a forward with a list and not
with a filter in a Zimbra box. That would save you some money because you have to by less Licenses.
