odd redirect - relaying denied interaction

[Brett Sutton <bs...@idatam.com.au>]

I have a requirment to forward all mail sent from a specific address to 
be redirected to a single user, regardless of the intended recipient. 
This is to aid in debugging programs which use a copy of a production 
database and which send out lots of mail to addresses in the database.
During debugging we don't want the real reciepents to recieve mail from 
our test system but we also don't want to have to update the email 
addresses in the database.

So the proposes solution is to use james and add a Redirect mailet which 
sends all mail from certain addresses to a single user (the programmer).

Unfortunatley easier said than done.

I first set up the james mail server and sent a test message through the 
system, no problems.

The Relay statement is as follows

*         <mailet 
match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1,*.mydomain.com.au,10.*.*.*" 
class="ToProcessor">
            <processor> relay-denied </processor>
            <notice>550 - Requested action not taken: relaying 
denied</notice>
         </mailet>

*And servernames is as follows
   <servernames autodetect="true" autodetectIP="true">
<!-- CONFIRM? -->
         <servername>localhost</servername>
         <servername>*.mydomain.com.au</servername>
      </servernames>


I then added the following mailet to the config file:

    <mailet match="SenderIs=myaddress@mydomain.com.au" class="Redirect">
        <sender>debug@mydomain.com.au</sender>
        <to>info@mydomain.com.au</to>
        <message>Bounced from James</message>
        <inline>unaltered</inline>
        <attachment>message</attachment>
        <passThrough>FALSE</passThrough>
        <prefix xml:space="preserve">[Bounced: ] </prefix>
        <static>TRUE</static>
     </mailet>



And sent an identical message.
At this point the message was being dumped into the relay-denied mail 
directory.
If I remove the RemoteAddressNotInNetwork block or the Redirect Mailet 
all works fine but not the two together.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance,
Brett

It should work; the only things I suspect can create a problem (but I'm 
not sure) are:

1) Not sure if wildchars are acceptable in 
<servername>*.mydomain.com.au</servername>: try with mydomain.com.au.

2) Almost sure that wildchars are not acceptable in 
RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=*.mydomain.com.au, being not an IP but a dns 
name: try with mydomain.com.au.

Try it; hope it works.

allowing valid users to get mail even if mail contains invalid recipients

[Davide Dalla Rosa <d....@pollisrl.it>]

Hi all. I'm struck with the following problem:

Some mail messages are sent to several recipients in my domain:
user1@mydomain.com, user2@mydomain.com, user3@mydomain.com... and so on.

One address is wrong (e.g. user3 does not exist)

When james retrieves this mail from the server, it looks at the addresses,
and if james found some undefined addresses, no mail is sent to valid users.

How am I supposed to change config files in order to let valid users to get
mail even if there are some invalid recipients?

Thanks davide
