redirect webmail to another location

[apogee]

hello,

I've installed a new webmail which I want to use in the future.

So now I want to redirect all my users which try to access webmail over www.xyz.com/webmail to www.mynewwebmaildomain.com. How can I do this?

in httpd.conf I found this:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/?webmail/?$ /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/wredirect.cgi 

How can I redirect all request for ^/?webmail/ to another domain?

Thanks!

This may be possible by changing the existing redirect in the Apache configuration (httpd.conf) file, running the Apache configuration distiller, then testing if the change is saved by regenerating/rebuilding the Apache configuration (httpd.conf) file.

Please see the following documentation for details regarding how to do this step-by-step:

Thanks Don

I know that I just can modify /usr/local/cpanel/APACHE_CONFIG but the problem is that I don't know how I must make the redirect.

Just

ScriptAliasMatch ^/?webmail/?$ www.mywebmaildom.com 

or must I execute a Perl or Bash Script which redirects the user with the "header" function?

Thanks!

can I solve my problem with this? :

Redirect ^/?webmail/?$ http://www.mynewwebmailurl.com/ 

I'm not sure...

You might try changing it to an entry in the following format (where "ScriptAliasMatch" is changed to "RedirectMatch":

RedirectMatch ^/?webmail/?$ http://www.webmaildomain.tld/

Here is related documentation for Apache (versions 2.2, 2.0, and 1.3):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...#redirectmatch
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod...#redirectmatch
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod...#redirectmatch

Thanks,

If I also made this change to /usr/local/cpanel/APACHE_CONFIG it should also work propper after a apache update, right?

I would not recommend editing the specified file to accomplish the redirect.

Are other methods not working as expected?

you can add a simple autoforwarder in mail settings, but in that case you will also receive emails on your original email and it will also be redirected or forwarded to your target email id automatically. hope this helps.
