Redmak Administrators Posted March 11, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have a linux (postfix - mailscanner) frontend mailserver that checks our company mail for viruses and spam. After checking the email is forwarded to our internal exchange server. I'd like to be able to forward email that comes in on one address to multiple other addresses. For instance a newsletter comes in on info@company.com which must be forwarded to jack@company.com and jill@company.com. I've been looking at procmail but I don't think that'll work in my (exchange) situation since procmail only forwards to local mailboxes on the linux server. Help:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted March 11, 2008 MVC Share Posted March 11, 2008 Why can you not just make a distribution list on your exchange server for info@company.com -- your scanner sends the email thru to info@ exchange sends to whoever is in that distribution list. Why would you be looking on your scanner to do this work, an breakout the who the emails go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted March 12, 2008 Author Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2008 I didn't mention this but I need more control. I also need to be able to forward messages based on the sender email address and words in the title. For instance. All mail sent to info@company.com coming from newsletter@microsoft.com should be forwarded to xyz@company.com Basically I want server based mail filtering (as Outlook does on the client side). I used to have a third party tool on Exchange to do this but I'd like to know if there's a free linux alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted March 12, 2008 MVC Share Posted March 12, 2008 Procmail is more than capable of doing everything you have mentioned, and forwarding to another email address. Where did you get the idea that it has to be a local mail on the linux box? procmail can foward email to whatever other email address you want.
