Dovecot LDAP/AD with exim as mta
Hi,
I have done configuration dovecot/exim/samba4ad.
I use dovecot-lda not exim to deliver mail. And dovecot to authentify users.
I have users with mail address on AD. When i sent mail to user mail address, its working.
I have distribution group or group with mail address on AD and users as member of this groups. But when i send mail to group mail address, its not working
Dovecot-lda can do it ? Or i need do it with exim (or postfix) ?
Thanks
Benoît

dovecot-lda does not do it. you need external software to implement the mailing list. I believe both postfix and exim can do that.

You will have to configure your MTA exim to properly resolve the group mail addresses to their individual participants. How else would you be able to verify valid recipients by your MTA and not accept random spam?
There exists propably documentation how to configure exim to query the active directory with ldap statements.

IN your mail software ou should have a way to lookup the group address that returns the list of members. In postfix, this is virtual_alias_maps.
For example: virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:$config_directory/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
You would need your MTA to e able to look up your list in AD and return all the emails that list maps to.

Thanks to confirm.
Have a nice day !
