4.5 Exporting and Importing User Accounts

If you have multiple NetWare servers running Unoverica Message Transport, then you will need to consolidate the directories on these servers so that incoming mail gets routed to the correct server that is hosting that user’s mailbox. Figure 4.40 below illustrates this configuration:

Figure 4.40: In order for a single server to route mail to multiple servers, the remote server's directories must be exported and imported into the master server’s directory.

This is achieved by exporting the directories from each of the servers, and then importing the user accounts as aliases into a master system responsible for the entire domain. Once this is accomplished, then inbound mail sent to the mail server responsible for the domain will get matched to the alias account stored in the master server’s directory, and then redirected to the mail server responsible for that specific user, which will then place the mail into the user’s mailbox.

For more information on how to export the directory, refer to section 4.5.1 Exporting the Directory. For more information on how to import the directory, refer to section 4.5.2 Importing the Directory. For more information about the format of the export and import files, refer to section G.5 Format of the Export/Import Files.

STEP: To continue with the exporting or importing of directories, go to section 4.5.1 Exporting the Directory. To configure Unoverica Message Transport’s mail routing services, allowing mail to be sent and received to a domain, or to configure Unoverica Message Transport to work with a firewall, go to Chapter 5:Configuring Mail Routing.
