The Active Directory UserMod Assistant source forge project you found looks really good, thanks for sharing it.

I should have worded that better, what I meant to say is that since the vacation lookup is using myql and the user is using the Squirrelmail PostfixAdmin plugin there will only be one email address created in the SQL table. This means that any alias address will simply not qualify in the lookup. At any rate I am still not getting a vacation reply when sent to the alias address. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, I actually have had a chance to look further at the problem and it appears that the otherMailbox lookup is not returning the correct value. I have used ADSI edit to add an alias address in th otherMailbox field and when I do a postmap -v -q user@some.domain ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf it is returning the same value for the mail field regardless of what is entered for the otherMailbox.

It was working with aliases before I messed with it up to support system accounts. I’ve updated the Postfix Vacation Message, please check it out. Since you will be updating your configuration which is based on the old article, here are the important points to consider

1. Redownload the squirrelmail-postfixadmin plugin
2. Make sure config.php contains the line
$CONF['vacation_domain'] = ‘vacation.invalid’;
3. Remove the recipient_bcc_maps in /etc/postfix/main.cf

Just a couple quick thoughts on the vacation aspect, I have tried using Gnarwl and following the guide here for using PostfixAdmin and was able to get both working. The downside to Gnarwl is that there is not an easy interface that regular users can manage themselves, otherwise it works fairly well even with aliases. PostfixAdmin on the other hand is much easier to let users manage the away message using Squirrelmail, however it does not seem to work when email aliases are involved. The messages get delivered to the Maildir but are not processed by vacation when sent to a user’s alias address. I may be missing something simple in terms of Postfix and this guide, it would be fantastic if PostfixAdmin-vacation worked with aliased addresses correctly.

Have been solved the issue by using squirrelmail retrive user data package.

We have a small organization with minimum 100 users. I have done the Postfix + Dovecot + AD alias configuration with the above guide as a Internal mail server (communicate with internally, not outside or internet). I am able to send and receive mails from all the AD accounts using Postfix and Dovecot.

I am facing a problem with from mail address.
I have a below users account in AD and respective mail address in AD

Username :mailuser1
E-mail : mail-1@demo.int

Username :mailuser2
E-mail : mail-2@demo.int

when i am sending a mail from mailuser1 to mail-2@demo.com. i am getting header “from mail address mailuser1@localhost.example.int” in mailuser2 mailbox and same has vice versa.

will it possible can we use same AD e-mail address to sender ? ( I mean, when we going to send mailuser1 to mail-2@demo.int, in mailuser2 mailbox header should be “from : mail-1@demo.int)

Please help.

Thanks,
Surendra

Please see my new Postfix Vacation Message article. It works with any Postfix setup.
