True, messages sent to the external address will be distributed to all local recipients even if sent by one of the local users. Mercury could probably catch the message and reroute it to the local forwarding mailbox instead of first sending it to the external server, though. Other than that some header with the intended local recipient would be needed to avoid sending to all.

Hello.

I have successfully set up mercury32 to serve the mail in my office, but I have this problem:

we have a unique mailbox (mybox@blabla.net), accessed via pop3 by m/32; the messages are then distributed via IMAP protocol to user1, user2, ecc. belonging to domain "myoffice.local"

Our need is that each user can read ALL the mail; but at the same time we need:

- that each user can have its own "sent items" folder,

- and that each user can create and organize its mail as he like/need (categorizing the mail in folders, etc.)

So:

- I set up the local domain as "myoffice" and "myoffice.local"

- I set up a number of users (user1, user2, user3, userN);

- I set up mercuryD to send all the mail retrieved from mybox@blabla.net to the user1

- then I set up m/32 to forward all the messages received by user1 to user2, user3, userN, ecc.

It seems to work, but I encounter a problem in case of internal mail; if user1 sends an email to user2@myoffice.local, no problem; but if user2 replies to user1 (or if any user sends a mail to user1), the mail is then forwarded to ALL the users defined in m/32 (EDIT; in case of reply, because the reply is sent to mybox@blabla.net, and then received by user1, and then forwarded, ecc.; in case of new message, because is sent to user1@myoffice.local, and then forwarded...)

Any idea to set up m/32 to match our needs?

Best regards

Filippo

Couldn't you simply create a dummy account (with no real user) for the POP3 retrieval, and forward from that account to the real users?

Thank you very much! This worked fine in case of direct internal mail; unfortunately it does not work in case of reply to the internal mail.
