I have defined groups in server2003 Active Directory users and Groups and made members.

Mercury/32 by default does not recognize groups other than Netware in the Netware mode.   There is a beta (alpha?) from Frank Fesevur <omega@fesevur.com> that does integrate Mercury to Windows AD but it's not been released to the public, you might ask him for a copy.  I have been testing testing this for some time and it does appear work with a windows workstation and groups.

In addition, Dameon Wagner, of the the Pegasus Mail and Mercury/32 beta testers, has created a daemon that can send to NT groups.

*   NTGroups is another tool that I wrote because of mailing list pleadings (see, writing to mailing lists does work ;-). It's a custom
    daemon for Mercury/32 that allows you to send mail to OS groups like those found in the various Windows OS's based on NT. Now supports
    receiving mail from external addresses.

Hi Folks

Having a few problems with my mail server.

We have just installed server 2003 to run alongside our old but trusty netware 3.2 (Bindery) server.

We have installed Mercury 4.7 and Pegasus 4.5

We used to forward mail to peoples managers via group membership.

This has stopped working on the new server.

I have defined groups in server2003 Active Directory users and Groups and made members.

I have added the Groups with every conceivable syntax in the mercury core module groups section but nothing is forwarding.

Thought it may have something to do with hostname but have tried everything I can think of to no avail.

Then I thought to use autoforward, as a temporary fix but it dosen't work either. I grant a user extended rights ( PMGRANT) but no extended Features appear in the Pegasus Toools / Options /General settings.

Any Ideas most welcome,

Regards
