How can I deliver group e-mails via Fetchmail

[kmeyer]

I would like to send E-Mails to a defined Group in Kopano .
But everything I try does not work.

The Manuel example:
kopano-admin --details --type group sales
Name: sales
Email address: sales@blablabla.de
Address book: Visible
Send-as:
Users (2):
Username Fullname Homeserver Store

john John Doe Kopano ABCDE
mary Mary Jones Kopano FGHIJ

so how can I reach the “sales@blablabla.de” through the internet - via fetchmail ?

Thanks.

OK, I got a Mailbox sales@blablabla.de which is called by fetchmail. But how can I tell the dagent for which group the e-mail is ?

Group Name, e-mail Address and external ID are not working.

Forwardings to groups are also not possible …
I can create the rules, and I got errors that I cannot send without E-Mail Addresses. I only can send e-mails to that groups manually without rules.

Question: Groupware without Group E-Mails?

Hi @kmeyer,

Kopano-dagent only delivers into the mailbox of a given user, when you want to deliver a mail to a group you need to resolve the group in your mta (postfix for example), which will then pass the mail for each group member to dagent.

I quickly tested this and have no problems creating a forwarding rule in WebApp that forwards a mail to a given group.

Hi @fbartels ,
many thanks for your reply, I will check it.

Question:
is it possible to use the user-db configuration or does it have to be ldap to break up the groups in users with Postfix?
Is there an example solution?

@kmeyer yes, you can use the aliases file in postfix to also resolve one address to multiple recipients.
