zmprov modifyAccount issue (fowarding)

[Amin Kardan]

I have a zmprov script written. The only problem is when I'm trying to create forwarding addresses for specific emails, I get this error:

prov> ERROR: account.INVALID_ATTR_NAME (invalid attr name: [LDAP: error code 17 - zimbraPrefMailForwardAddress: attribute type undefined])

This is command I'm running (remember this is a script, so assume zmprov is already typed):

modifyAccount user@pdadmin.com zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress user@hotmail.com

i guess the correct attribute is zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress
yoru command look ok but the error says: LDAP: error code 17 - zimbraPrefMailForwardAddress

on forum people have this syntax too:
zmprov ma someuser@yourdomain.com zimbraFeatureMailForwardingEnabled TRUE zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress "someonesemail@hotmail.com"

so make sure there is no typo

I tried the code you recommended, checked for typos, and I even tried just putting quotes around the forwarding email of my own command and came up with the same error. What now?

Just wondering if anyone else has an idea of what could be going wrong here?

EDIT: Just in case anyone stumbles on to the same question, there was a syntax error in 'zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress'. Instead of Fowarding, I had Forward.
