I can't select more than 91 users

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

As you want to create an everyone@ email alias as a mail distribution list, avoid creating an LDAP group with many users.

Create the address and select one user as destination. I recommend to set the “Internal” flag under Advanced.

Then login in as root on the NS8 leader node and run a command like this:

api-cli run cluster/list-domain-users --data '{"domain":"ad.dp.nethserver.net"}' | \
    jq '{"atype":"domain","local":"everyone","domain":"dp.nethserver.net","internal":true,"destinations":[.users[]|select(.user!="Administrator")|{"dtype":"user","name":.user}]}' | \
    api-cli run module/mail1/alter-address --data -

The command is constituted by three parts:

1. fetches the users list with list-domain-users action
2. converts its output in the input format expected by alter-address with jq. I excluded the Administrator user from the list, just as an example.
3. runs alter-address with the input provided by jq output.

It’s important to match local and domain values with your target address entry. You can get a list of defined addresses with:

api-cli run module/mail1/list-addresses | jq

After running the alter-address action with the above filter as input you’d get the everyone address with all your users as destinations.

This command can run automatically every day. Maybe someone will write an See this Howto for it.

Howto create an everyone mail address to be able to send to all domain users

In this example we create an “everyone” mail address for the user domain ad.domain.tld and the maildomain domain.tld. The mail address destinations are autofilled by a script that’s executed regularly via cron. Create a mail address everyone@domain.tld and set it to internal in the advanced settings. You need to add an user as destination to be able to save the new address. [grafik] Create a script file /usr/local/bin/set-everyone-address.sh with following content, adapt ad.domain.tld to yo…
