[SOLVED] How to send a message copy to a second mail server

[butzkies]

Hi,

what I have to change in the zimbra postfix settings,
if I want to forward message copies to a second mail server
for certain zimbra mail accounts. I don't want to use the standard
smtp-relay-server defined in the admin settings.

Thanks in advance

Search the wiki for the words 'legal intercept'.

No intercept ;-)

I would like to use a second open-xchange server for certain mail accounts
because zimbra doesn't support read/unread flags for shared mail folders.

Why don't use the forwarding feature on specified account ?

BTW, you would also taken another approach by changing the MTA for certain account by using this command :

su - zimbra
$ zmprov md example.com zimbraMailTransport smtp:mail.example.com

For your case, you must replace the mail.example.com with your Open-Xchange server.

You can send that to any account, AFAIK it doesn't have to be on the current Zimbra server. You could always use the Zimbra Archiving and Discovery add-on for NE or search the forums for 'bcc'.

For zmprov md example.com zimbraMailTransport smtp:mail.example.com
I got an error message

ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_DOMAIN (no such domain: example.com)

Sorry, I make a mistake. The above command intended to send all of email into secondary mail server (you must replace the example.com with your domain).

For your purpose, you must use the command as below :

zmprov ma bar@example.com zimbraMailTransport smtp:mail.example.com:25

Don't forget to replace bar@example.com with specified account, mail.example.com with your Open-Xchange mail server and 25 with your Open-Xchange SMTP port.

It works, thank you!

If you are comfortable with configuring Postfix in general you can also configure Zimbra's Postfix with the "always_bcc" option, explained in detail in the Postfix documentation.

Hope that helps,
