Pipe from remote mail server (Postfix) into Znuny

[Afox]

Hello,
I want to pipe mails from a remote Postfix server into Znuny.

I found the corresponding section in the OTRS manual here: https://doc.znuny.org/doc/manual/admin/ ... eiving-cmd
As the command

Code: Select all

$SYS_HOME/bin/otrs.Console.pl Maint::PostMaster::Read --target-queue=QUEUENAME

has to be run on the same machine I wonder how I can achieve the same result with a remote mail server. For any hint I am very grateful.

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

You need to configure the local MTA (Postfix) to accept email from external and then pass them via procmail into Znuny

Thanks for your answer. I am not sure if we mean the same. If I understand correctly I need to setup a second Postfix server on the Znuny machine?

Hi,

Yes, that's correct. Moving the emails from server a to b happens mostly by using SMTP. Setup the Postfix on the Znuny system and configure the Postfix to accept emails for USER@FQDN where USER is the application user.

Thanks again. Regarding procmail I was thinking about setting

Code: Select all

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

for the Znuny Postfix server and then make queue assignments inside the .procmailrc file. Would that be sufficient?

Addition: I believe your advice encloses that I forward the mail to one mail address, for example otrs@domain.tld. But would it also work if I relay the mail to the Znuny Postfix server without accumulating to one mail address?
