"ALL" Mailing list?

[nexus]

How do I create an "all" mailing list that mails all the user accounts? It needs to be updated dynamically as more users are created.

Also.... how do I pipe mail delivery to an external script? In my existing qmail installation I just create an alias that references the pipe but i'm not sure how to do that with zcs.

thanks.

Have a look in bugzilla for the 'all users' mailing list, I seem to remember there's an entry there for that feature. When you find it, vote for it.

or not....

They're called distribution lists in Zimbra, it might be under that category. I'm certain there is an RFE in bugzilla for it (somehwere). You'll have to refine your search, you could also have a search of the forums and see if it's been mentioned there.

i've searched and dont see anything. i believe you, i just can't find it.

given the seemingly trivial nature of this its surprising that it doesnt already exist. to make matters worse i have to manually add each user to the list because the search function is broken in the list mgmt page.

You can easily do it by hand and even cron it if you like.

su - zimbra
export DOM=your.domain
echo "ddl all@$DOM"  > /tmp/all.zmp
echo "cdl all@$DOM" >> /tmp/all.zmp
for user in `zmprov gaa | grep -vE '^(admin@|ham\.|spam\.|wiki@)'`;
 do echo "adlm all@$DOM $user" >> /tmp/all.zmp;
done
zmprov < /tmp/all.zmp

Great piece of code. Thanks a lot.

And what are the attributes names if i want to change the list display name or if i want to hide it from gal ?

More generally, where can i find all the attributes names for command line utilities ?

You can set attributes of a list with 'mdl'. For example:

$ zmprov mdl all@$DOM displayname 'All Employees'

If you don't know what attribute to set, then go into the GUI and set it then pull it out of LDAP to learn the attribute name.

$ zmprov gdl all@$DOM
# distributionList all@dom.ain memberCount=1
cn: All Employees
displayName: All Employees
mail: all@dom.ain
objectClass: zimbraDistributionList
objectClass: zimbraMailRecipient
uid: sysplan
zimbraId: 0000-0000-0000-0000
zimbraMailAlias: all@dom.ain
zimbraMailForwardingAddress: me@dom.ain
zimbraMailStatus: enabled

Then go back to zmprov mdl.
