Configuring mail routing
The following procedure is part of the LDAP profile configuration process. For general procedures about how to configure an LDAP profile, see “Configuring LDAP profiles”.
1. Go to Profile > LDAP.
2. Click New to create a new profile or double click on an existing profile to edit it.
3. Click the arrow to expand the Mail Routing Options section.
 
The Mail Routing Options section query occurs after recipient tagging processing. If you have enabled recipient tagging, the Mail Routing Options section query will then be based on the tagged recipient address. If the tagged email address does not exist for the user in the LDAP directory, you may prefer to transform the recipient address by using the User Alias Options.
For more information on routing email by LDAP query, see“Mail routing LDAP profile”.
4. Configure the following:
 
GUI item
Description
Mail host attribute
Enter the name of the attribute, such as mailHost, whose value is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the email server that stores email for the user’s email account.
This attribute must be present in user objects.
Mail routing address attribute
Enter the name of the attribute, such as mailRoutingAddress, whose value is the email address of a deliverable user on the email server, also known as the mail host.
For example, a user may have many aliases and external email addresses that are not necessarily known to the email server. These addresses would all map to a real email account (mail routing address) on the email server (mail host) where the user’s email is actually stored.
A user’s recipient email address located in the envelope or header portion of each email will be rewritten to this address.
This attribute must be present in user objects.
