When an Automatic Forward action is perform?

[riravedra]

I am interested in knowing when there is realized the action to order a message of automatic form after a user provision a zimbraMailForwardingAddress.

I have looked through the forums and the wiki and can't find any topics related to this so maybe someone could help me out.
Only, I've read at User Alias Mapping and Mail Transport with Postfix & LDAP - Zimbra :: Wiki
that the Postfix application looks in LDAP for an entry called zimbraMailForwardingAddress.

My problem is the following one:

1. user1 assign to zimbraMailForwardingAddress a value user2@erroneousDomain.com
2. user2 sends an email to user1
3. user1 receives the email
4. user2 receives an "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" because user1 has mal-formed his automatic forwarding address.

I wonder if it can be possible that user2 was avoiding to know this mistake and was notified to the user1.

Zimbra Server knows when an email is forwarded to another one or only is known by Postfix?
Can I generate a log saying that a message is being automatic forwarded?

Thanks in advance

Have you checked /var/log/zimbra.log or mail.log? They record virtually every action of the mail transport, and so with grep I would think you could find what you are looking for. If you need to get a report on a regular basis, write a script to grep the appropriate stuff out of those logs and send it to a new file or even an email to yourself.

thanks dwmtractor, I have just verified the file "mail.info" and i've found next after sending email:

1. senderUser sends a message to receiverOkUser
2. receiverOkUser has enabled Address to forward mail to: to automaticForwardedKoUser@externalDomain.com
3. An error occurs when a message is sent to automaticForwardedKoUser

The only reference from a forwarded message is orig_to ?

Is there a way from ZimbraServer to control this behaviour without having to generate a external script ?


By way of curiosity, the last two records indicate that a message to senderUser is sent telling that there has been an "internal" mistake sending a message to automaticForwardedKoUser.
But in my modest opinion, why senderUser has to know this error?
Would not it be better to report to receiverOkUser ?

I wait to have expressed correctly and in an intelligible way.

Thanks

Doesn't that error tell you what the real problem is?

[riravedra]

Yes, I know the problem, because I needed to generate an example where there is a mistake to show you what happens when it occurs.

I am not interested in the error itself. Rather, i'm interested in the fact not alert the senderUser -originally who send the first email-, to warn of error receiverOkUser -that enabled an automatic redirect to an external account-.

Hi,

I am also looking for the same, as only the original recipient should get NDR not the original sender. From the original sender view, message is already delivered to the recipient. Is there a way we can send all NDRs to an account instead of sending to the sender or is there a way to disable sending NDR in postfix? As a wish list, can Zimbra have an option to create a mail filter to forward mails based on subject or address to another address.

Zimbra rocks...

Rgds,
