[tipz]

Hi Guys,
I am trying to have a forward email to multiple email addresses with no success.

using lazy admin tool i can add multiple addressess but it won't forward or anything.

is there a way i can have a users email forward to multiple emails

1) Setup a group.
2) Make the accounts that you want the email to be delivered to members of the group.
3) Send / forward email to the group and everyone (in the group) will receive the email

If I have understood what you are trying to achive.

no actually i have alot of users whos email get forwarded to outside address and in some cases they have multiple email addresses.

in current setup we are using aliases file

basically i have like 30% users who pickup their email locally
rest have it forwarded to other email addresses like hotmail and gmail
and few uers like to get a copy of email at more then one place

Tipz,

  I'm with you on this one.  I've even tried setting things in the command line, probably much the way you are doing things with the Lazy Admin Tools (LAT):

db accounts setprop ttestman ForwardAddress \
ttestman@yahoo.com,ttestman@gmail.com

This creates the appropriate entry in the db, which you can see with the command: db accounts show ttestman   but.... the .qmail file for Mr. Testman doesn't look right:

&ttestman@yahoo.com,ttestman@gmail.com

Let's ask again if anyone knows how to do this... other then building a group for each user who need multpile forwards.

I can't build a group for each user.
i have 250 users whos email get update every other day.
i doubt i can afford to do that and keep track of all the changes

Tipz,

  My memory isn't all that good.  Apparently I started a thread about this subject a few months ago:

The answer then was use groups.
