How to redirect mails from specific email to one user
How to redirect emails from specific e-mail address to a specific user
Resolution
In this article we will see how to redirect an email from a specific email address to a designated user. For example you have emails coming from advertisement@domain.com that are flooding your users, and you want to catch all emails from this email address, and to redirect them to a user (sysadm@domain.com) that will act as a quarantine user.
To accomplish our task, we will be using Postfix Header check, to catch and redirect the emails.
1. Go to:
cd /opt/zimbra/conf
2. Create a file for headers:
touch /opt/zimbra/conf/custom_header_checks
3. In this file add this line:
/^From:(.*)advertisement@domain.com/ REDIRECT sysadm@domain.com
4. Check the current settings:
zmprov gcf zimbraMtaHeaderChecks
5. If there are no entries you can run the following command to add the new file to the config:
zmprov mcf zimbraMtaHeaderChecks 'pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/custom_header_checks'
If there is already a setting, you can just add the new to the old as follows:
zmprov mcf zimbraMtaHeaderChecks 'pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/custom_header_checks_old, pcre:/opt/zimbra/conf/custom_header_checks'
6. Check if the setting is written to the config:
zmprov gcf zimbraMtaHeaderChecks postconf | grep header_checks
If not, run:
zmprov mcf zimbraMtaBlockedExtensionWarnRecipient FALSE
7. Restart mta
zmmtactl restart
Next, test if the configuration is working by sending an email from a test email.
