Alias pointing to another domain #33

Open TacoScheltema opened 8 years ago

TacoScheltema commented 8 years ago

Hi, first of all thumbs up for the work done so far, it's by far one of the best management tools for postfix in my opinion, I would like to see this project go to a level where it can be used in production .

I would like to see an option to add an alias pointing to an account on a different domain. So for example I have 2 domains, example1.com and example2.com. My main email account is info@example1.com, I would like to be able to add sales@example2.com as an alias to info@example1.com. Currently this is not possible within posty_api as far as I can see.

Just a general enquiry; is this project active? it looks so promising but is far from finished in my view. It's missing features that I use on a day to day basis. Unfortunately I'm not very capable in terms of ruby but I can contribute in other ways. (translation into Dutch for instance, or hosting a vm for development/hosting purposes). I would hate to see this project end before it's finished.

Sorry for the late reply. The Project is still active. We use it in production to manage our mailserver installations. But it could take a while before i can integrate your feature, because i am very busy at the moment.

Thanks for you reply! I understand, it just that I haven't found any other postfix management tool that is so polished (my sincere compliments for that). I'll see if I can skill up a bit in Ruby to see if I can help a bit that way or maybe find a skilled developer that I can entice to jump in.

I think the best solution for the "alias to a other domain" is to introduce a "forward" feature. With this feature it is possible to add a forwarder from test@example1.com to test@example2.com and it is possible to create a forwarder to a address which does not exist on the server e.g. test123123@googlemail.com

Yes, that would probably work fine.
