mailForwardingAddress will only deliver mail to all the mail addresses contained in a user's mailForwardingAddress attributes. However when a user's account contains at least one mailForwardingAddress attribute, no mail will be delivered to the users local mail box/mail address (the value specified in the mail attribute). So mailForwarding may not satisfy Fuller's requirement contained below probably without some work-around.
MF> In both cases, the message should be delivered to their mailbox also. I don't know whether this can work: Just thinking is it possible to have more than one account having the same mail directory in qmail-ldap, if so it is possible for the accounts sharing the common mail directory to view the all the emails contained within it? If it is then a solution would be to create "secondary" mail accounts for each of the executives, then create an additional mailForwardingAddress attribute with "secondary" mail account as the value. In theory this would mean that mail sent to the executive's account would be forwarded to all the mail addresses (both remote and local) specified in the the executives mailForwardingAddress attribute(s). The executives may not need to know of the existence of their "secondary" mail address as they can in theory access mail in the "shared" mail directory. Just try it. Allan Kamau.
