My client has got
many sub-offices, and
one head office. The headoffice has a domain name: business.com
All users in the
many sub-offices need
to have a headoffice email address:
[email protected]
Anyone not in the head office will need the email forwarded
to an external email address.
All users in the head office will have their email delivered
to Microsoft Exchange.
Users are listed in Active Directory under two different OU's: HeadOffice or SubOffice.
Is this something able
to be configured?
I've done some googling, but I can't find any examples or businesses set up this way.
Edit:
Postfix will accept all email, will need
to determine
to forward the email
to an external account or alternatively have it delivered
to MS Exchange.
I've done some reading about MS Exchange and that you can 'mail-enable' contacts for forwarding - but I don't know if each AD account requires an Exchange CAL?
The end goal is
to forward email
to external accounts
to sub offices or accept email for head office.
Maybe I don't need
to worry about Postfix
to perform this task.....

"What about client access licenses (CALs)? You need
one CAL per user who will connect
to Exchange. Although it might not be 100 percent precise, I prefer
to think of it as
one CAL per mailbox; there are exceptions for users outside your organization, automated tools that use mailboxes, and so on. Exchange doesn't enforce this limit, so it's on you
to ensure that you have the correct number of CALs for the set of clients you support."
