Is this listserv dead?
If there is no community for AUTOMX then I will probably just create a custom application than use it since that was my original plan.

Hello,
I am evaluating automx for potential use within our environment. I have set up an instance of automx for testing and am looking into how we can implement some programming logic needed to get a correct response needed to support our different use-cases.
The general logic needed is-
1) User has provided a "username at domain.edu" address
2) Query our LDAP server by the uid=username and retrieve the mailRoutingAddress attribute.
3) mailRoutingAddress will follow one of three rules-
a) the "username at servername.domain.edu"
b) an external "forwarding address" that has been assigned by the user (for example a gmail, a yahoo, etc)
c) "username at tenant.onmicrosoft.com" (in other words, an institution-specific Office 365 instance)
4) Based on the rules above, we need to send the correct response, respectively
a) respond with settings for IMAP+SMTP email service (based off username, servername)
b) don't send a response (or possibly fall back to settings using a different LDAP attribute)
c respond with a redirect to Microsoft O365 autodiscover.outlook.com
I have read through the documentation and it appears it may be possible to do this using automx, but I am not sure yet. The documentation referenced this listserv, so I thought I would ask.
Can anyone provide some insight into whether or not above would be possible, and if so, the general approach to go about it? I can see it may require a combination of things (filters, custom scripts, LDAP, etc).
Thanks and Happy Holidays =)
