[jira] Created: (JAMES-562) Aliasmanagment should not depend on a
user
Aliasmanagment should not depend on a user
-------------------------------------------
Key: JAMES-562
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-562
Project: James
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Norman Maurer
If someone want to set a alias he must create a user fist and then use this user as alias. IMHO that makes no sense.. We don't need a password etc for an alias.. So we should change it to not need a created user first .

[jira] Commented: (JAMES-562) Aliasmanagment should not depend on a

---------------------------------------
I consider this issue resolved, since the virtual user table capability provides flexible alias and forwarding capabilities. Current virtual user tables can be configured either in config.xml (see examples) or JDBC. The only use for the current scheme, as I see it, is to provide a means for an existing user (having an account for SMTP AUTH or POP3 purposes) to set their own forwarding address, which is a feature not yet suppored by the console.

Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-562:
---------------------------------------
What don't you like about the existing solution?
We have a solution. Use a virtual user table, like pretty much every other mail server. You either have an account or you don't. Binary. If you do, we have the current scheme. If you don't, we have virtual user tables.
My view is that the old Alias and Forward support should be removed, and replaced by a management interface for the virtual user table system. An point to remember is that we might want to perform the mapping after the pipeline, immediately before delivery, which is what the current scheme does.
Also, keep in mind that we need to recognize whether a recpient is valid, which requires an account, an entry in a VUT, or a specific entry in config.xml.
