Email for groups

NethServer Version: 7.7.1908
Module: email

I want to send email to everyone in a group. It doesn’t work! Before I try and work out if this is my fault, maybe someone can say if it should! Group email id - bouncing may sugest it doesn’t?

Should I be able to have messages addressed to mygroup@mydomain.tld delivered to me@mydomain.tld and her@mydomain.tld assuming ‘me’ and ‘her’ are members of ‘mygroup’?

Email logs says

<mygroup@mysubdomain.mydomain.tld>: Recipient address rejected: undeliverable address: User unknown in virtual alias table

for the group address but then

to=<me@mydomain.tld>, orig_to=<mygroup@mydomain.tld>, relay=server.mydomain.tld[/var/run/dovecot/lmtp], delay=0.2, delays=0.15/0.02/0.02/0.01, dsn=2.1.5, status=deliverable (250 2.1.5 OK)

Although the logs say the email is delivered to ‘me’, I don’t receive it.

I’ve set up to receive email to mygroup@ as a wildcard (this works for other addresses).

Is it me or you!?

In the new server manager you may have to enable “Automatic alias for groups” in “EMail / Mailboxes / Configure”:

Thanks, I seem to have that set already.

However, th link you give says that

“Shared mailboxes” has been renamed to “Public mailboxes”.

so perhaps I am confused by trying to use “Groups” when I should be in “Public Mailboxes”?

Did you set an alias for mygroup@mysubdomain.mydomain.tld?

Are there other relevant errors in maillog or messages log?
