Hi Reinaldo, Let me explain better how virtual_alias_maps works in this case: 1) Someone send an email to [email protected] 2) Query ldap:everyone result has to be [email protected], [email protected], and so on (all mailboxes in domain example.com)
So, the %u value in everyone_query_filter is "everyone" Considering your suggestion: (&(accountStatus=active)(uid=%u)) and dn: uid=user1...: ================= Is "user1"="everyone" ? FALSE So, it won't return any mailboxes. Considering also the second part of your suggestion, about adding the attribute [email protected], it has 2 cons: 1) Loop: [email protected] forward to [email protected] and [email protected], which forward again to [email protected] and [email protected], and again, and again, and again... 2) Redundant data, may lead to inconsistencies: no sense in having all mailboxes with a [email protected]. If one does not have [email protected], the result list of recipients of an email sent to [email protected] won't be all (everyone) mailboxes.

I tried the following: everyone_query_filter = (&(accountStatus=active)(%u=everyone)) everyone_query_filter = (&(accountStatus=active)(uid=%u)) everyone_result_attribute = mail This work if you add attribute [email protected] for each ldap entry. dn: uid=user1...: [email protected] [email protected] dn: uid=user2,...: [email protected] [email protected] But it does not work. Is there any way to add that %u=everyone filter in the ldap query above? Or any other way to get the same results and still being dynamic? I mean dynamic by anything but generating hash alias_maps thru cron scripts. Thanks and regards, Ronie
