Hi,
I moved from a mailserver using exim/mysql to one based on postfix/ldap and
found a question I couldn't answer by searching:
Is there a way to put "email aliases like I'm used to" into the directory?
By "email aliases like I'm used to" I mean 1-m aliases with the following
properties:
- An email received for an alias address is send to multiple maildrops and/or
email addresses
Additinally I'd like to add information about ownership/permissions:
- An alias has got one or more owner(s) who
- are able to edit the list of receivers
- are allowed to delete the alias
- change permission on it like described below
- An alias has properties that describe the permission local receivers have
(for all of the local receivers or every single local):
- its open to subscription by every uid (user on the system) or only
the owners are
allowed to add new receivers
- delete oneself from the list of receivers
- allowed to use the alias address as email sender for emails delivered
by the account
I know this sounds like mailinglist, but most of that has been possible in exim
using files and file permissions or values in a mysql database. A listmanager
would add some interface for managing this, but that is not what I'm looking
for.
I'm looking for an existing standard or quasi-official way on how to represent
this in the directory before inventing the wheel a second time.
Along my way I stumbled over this two messages on the list which seem to point
in a similar direction:

Thanks for any references or help
