How does a mailbox user setup forwarders?

As I thought, I'm going to suggest this as a feature request.

There are many email packages out there which has this feature built-in to the user-level, and I see it is an expected thing now.

MDaemon (yes, I know it's not Linux)
Communigate
Zimbra
Horde (as stated above .. but I didn't know this)

and more ...but I can't be bothered wasting my time finding out the names ...
 
Unless Horde has code specific to DirectAdmin it's not likely to offer it in a way compatible with DirecdtAdmin.

As far as the others are concerned, they work as stand-alone products, not with the email solution as set up by DirectAdmin. You can certainly offer Communigate or Zimbra based solutions to your clients.

DirectAdmin isn't written to be everything for everyone.

So these will actually write to the alias file that exim uses?
 
MDaemon, Communigate, and Zimbra are all mailservers (MTAs); they don't interface with exim or DirectAdmin.

It's unlikey that Horde will use DirectAdmin files; it may use a .forward file as that's a fairly standard method, but somehow I don't think so.

Ok so based on what I have seen so far it contradicts the above statement. How can it be the expected thing when the most popular MTA's do not support it?

Originally I did not know you were indicating you wanted to replace exim with something else.
 
floyd - you didn't ask "name one that interfaces with Exim"

I agree with "it is an expected thing now" statement - because most major ISPs have this feature and now some Control Panel competitors to DA are doing this.

You then went on to name some but I have not seen a demo of how that works.

Which control panel? I would like to see that demo.
 
I've given you some names - as requested - go check them out - they have demos.

I forget the control panel names I was looking at - there are so many now - if I remember I will reply here with the link.

Back to my topic - I think this has been answered.
 
Okay, I'll name one.

The old Cobalt Raq, discontinued years ago.

And another: the open source vesion based on the original Cobalt Raq software: BlueQuartz.

They have a user level under the site level. But they don't have a reseller level.

And of course DirectAdmin. This handles Vacation messages, but not forwarders. You can always ask the authors to add the functionality. (Note it may not be an easy thing to do, because DirectAdmin configures forwarders totally independently of email addresses.)

Thanks for bringing it to my attention; I've just updated some of the tables where there were a lot of question marks. No column for exim, so I wrote "exim" in the Sendmail column.
