Creating user email groups on postfix mail server

elishaeli · 08-13-2012, 11:50 AM

Hello team;
I have created new email server which is working fine. I have created group aliases which forwards emails to specified alias users. But the problem is,when i click on a group name on outlook,for example sales@abc.com i cant see group members. Is there any other way of creating email groups other than using aliases? If yes may you kindly guide me step by step on how this can be achieved?
Thank you in advance for your great help

As far as I know, seeing that member of functionality as well as a lot of other features within Microsoft outlook can only be achieved by using an Exchange server. I do know that postfix can be integrated with exchange so that postfix does all of the mail delivery but there is an Exchange server to provide some of the additional functionality. There may be some extensions that were written to get some of this built in to Postfix or another MTA but I have not seen one.

Maintaining a mailing list is not the sole purpose of Postfix. Although it could be done to add bcc recipients and hide other receivers this way, I would suggest to look into a dedicated management software for a mailing list like Mailman or Sympa.

Thanx Reuti;
Now i have to find documentation on how to configure and use mailman.
