Hi Sai,

I didn't think to it, but 'Alias' seems like a nice way to answer your need.

We call it now 'Recipient Rewrite' (read more on http://james.apache.org/server/3/manage-recipientrewrite.html)

You can access it via the command line interface (ADDADDRESSMAPPING, REMOVEADDRESSMAPPING, ADDREGEXMAPPING, REMOVEREGEXMAPPING) (Mapping is the old name).

You can also use the JMX interface directly (all methods listed on http://james.apache.org/server/3/manage-recipientrewrite.html are available via JMX).

Thx,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your response. Vanessa and I will try to do this in one of
our local boxes. Yes, we still have issues with maildir copy functionality
on Windows machines.

We will use your option 1 and option 2.

BTW: We heard that there is another way to use alias names for a domain. Is
it true? If we can use an alias name this simplifies our problem. Please
advise.

Thanks, Sai

Hi Pao and Sai,

With virtualhosting enabled, the username contain the domain which makes
the things a bit more tricky.

There are 2 manual options:

1. update the tables content (JAMES_DOMAIN.DOMAIN, JAMES_MAILBOX.NAME and
also SUBSCRIPTION.MAILBOX) via a script (sql, or jdbc)

2. Copy to maildir, rename the ./var/store/maildir/your-**domain to
./var/store/maildir/your-new-**domain, reimport into a new database (with
previous creation of needed users and domain).

If I had to do it, I would copy via the maildir copy, but I think to
remember from previous posts you had issues to restore. Is this still the
case?

Btw, the emails that users will find in their folders will not have a
to-address that will map the the newly defined domain.

Thx,
Eric

  Hi,
I work with Sai and was asked to answer the first question.

We have the following settings in the following files:
useresrepositorymysql.xml->   enableVirtualHosting set to true
usersrepository23.xml ->   enableVirtualHosting set to false
usersrepository.xml ->   enableVirtualHosting set to true

I don't know when each xml file is used by Apache James, so I included
them all.

Thanks,

Vanessa Pao

Hi Sai,

Domain rename function is not available.

Do you run with enableVirtualHosting set to true?
Do you run jpa mailbox?

Depending on these, manual operation could be done to get a successful
domain rename.

Thx,

Eric
