[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-562?page=comments#action_12432387 ] Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-562: ---------------------------------------
What don't you like about the existing solution? We have a solution. Use a virtual user table, like pretty much every other mail server. You either have an account or you don't. Binary. If you do, we have the current scheme. If you don't, we have virtual user tables. My view is that the old Alias and Forward support should be removed, and replaced by a management interface for the virtual user table system. An point to remember is that we might want to perform the mapping after the pipeline, immediately before delivery, which is what the current scheme does. Also, keep in mind that we need to recognize whether a recpient is valid, which requires an account, an entry in a VUT, or a specific entry in config.xml. > Aliasmanagment should not depend on a user > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: JAMES-562 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-562 > Project: James > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Norman Maurer > Assigned To: Norman Maurer > > If someone want to set a alias he must create a user fist and then use this > user as alias. IMHO that makes no sense.. We don't need a password etc for an > alias.. So we should change it to not need a created user first . -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
