Topic: What's new in iRedMail: per-user Shadow Address in LDAP solution

Hi, all.

As you may know, we added a new feature in LDAP solution: per-user Shadow Address.

Shadow address, hmm, a little confused. In Google App, it is called Nickname.

What does it used for?

User can have as many mail addresses as he want. He can use POP3/IMAP/SMTP services with either mail address with same password, and all mails sent to these addresses will be delivered to the same mailbox.

Let me explain the LDIF structure first:

For user www@example.com:

dn: mail=www@example.com,ou=Users,domainName=example.com,XXX
mail: www@example.com
shadowAddress: user01@example.com
shadowAddress: user02@example.com
shadowAddress: user03@example.com
userPassword: {SSHA}xxxxxxxx
storageBaseDirectory: /var/vmail/vmail01
mailMessageStore: example.com/w/ww/www/www-2009.08.26.11.16.25/

Re: What's new in iRedMail: per-user Shadow Address in LDAP solution

Hi,

Could it be that if someone has multiple domains belonging to a mail account from there it can be dealt with?

For user www@example.com and his email address:

www@example.com
www@mail.example.com
www@example2.com
www@example3.com

Sorry for poor English.

Of course yes, but small modifications (/etc/postfix/ldap_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf, ldap_sender_login_maps.cf, /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf) are required.

And, you SHOULD host the domains you listed in shadowAddress.

Are there plans to include this in iRedAdmin(-Pro?)

This would be a very useful feature...

Of course yes. smile
But not in next release (v1.2.0), hope we can implement it in v1.3.0 or 1.4.0.

I'm a little confused is this the same as a catch all for a domain?

Hi Zhang,

we are currently setting up iRedmail and we need to setup domainalias + shadowAddress outside of the user's original domain
user1@uk.ourdomain.com needs to also receive user1@uk2.ourdomain.com and are having trouble

apart from domainalias creation & shadowaddress setup is there anything else we need to enable?

Re: What's new in iRedMail: per-user Shadow Address in LDAP solution

If you're using iRedMail-0.6.0, please modify dovecot-ldap.conf first to make Domain Alias and shadow address first:

user_filter     = (&(objectClass=mailUser)(|(mail=%u)(&(enabledService=shadowaddress)(shadowAddress=%u)))(accountStatus=active)(enabledService=mail)(enabledService=%Ls%Lc))
pass_filter     = (&(objectClass=mailUser)(|(mail=%u)(&(enabledService=shadowaddress)(shadowAddress=%u)))(accountStatus=active)(enabledService=mail)(enabledService=%Ls%Lc))

This is my mistake in iRedMail-0.6.0. Sorry.
