Hi all,
I had setup an account to receive mail and it has a few emails
waiting in the "New" folder of its maildir.
However, the setup has changed and this account is no longer
to be used but instead gets aliased by the "alias" file so
that the mail is forwarded to an outside email account.
Something like that:
user: some...@else.com
So right now, any mail sent to us...@mydomain.com gets
forwarded to some...@else.com and that is just fine with me.
However, the existing emails in the "New" folder should be
forwarded to some...@else.com and I'm not quite sure on to
how to proceed with this.
Any suggestions?
You're making this more complicated that it needs to be. Take
all the files in new, and put them in new's directory in the
other mailbox. This is assuming that both mailboxes are owned
by the same system uid and gid.
But the account where it needs to be forwarded is NOT on the same
server and its configuration is out of my control.
The alias file allows to do this and it works just fine. However,
it was put in place a bit too late and I would like to forward
what is already sitting on the server.
Then connect to both servers with any mail client and copy them
over. IMAPCopy
(http://home.arcor.de/armin.diehl/imapcopy/imapcopy.html) would do
fine.
Like Sam said, you're making this harder than it needs to be, there
are a hundred ways you could do this...
But then again, I don't have IMAP on the other end. Ah well, I'll
manage a way but it would have been nice to be able to put them back
in the queue for courier to reprocess them.
You could resend them using sendmail.
Something like this:
for filename in `find Maildir/new -type f`
do
sendmail -f us...@mydomain.com some...@else.com < $filename
done
Thanks, that made it quite well.
Cheers
