Problems when trying to add aliases

[kenshi]

Hi

I got a strange problem when trying to add an alais/additional email to an user, i got the following errors:

cindy:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# /opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -A oxadmin -P XXXX -c 1 -i 8 --email1 sh@maildomain.ch -e kenshi@maildomain.ch --defaultsenderaddress kenshi@maildomain.ch
user 8 in context 1 could not be changed:
Server response:
 email1 not equal with primarymail!

What am i doing wrong?

Hi Kenshi,

did you try to split this process to two parts?

1. Add a alias
2. Set the default sender address

Hi Martin,

yes i did:

cindy:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# /opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -A oxadmin -P XXXX-c 1 -i 8 -a sh@maildomain.ch
user 8 in context 1 could not be changed:
Server response:
 primaryMail, Email1 and defaultSenderAddress must be present in set of aliases.

No ideas? :/

Well, no idea to override this issue, but i suppose it's a bug. I'll reproduce this on my own cvs ox and will report a bug if it is one.

Thanks for reporting!

I know this is an old thread but I was going through these trying to solve the same problem. The error message finally made me realize how to do it - you submit a list of aliases and you need to make sure the existing primary email, email1 (if exists) and default sender are all in this list.

so if there is just a primary (also def. sender) do as the second example above but -a primaryemail@maildomain.ch,newalias@maildomain.ch

Anyway, this worked for me.
