Modoboa

A bug in modoboa 1.4.2 causes alias import to fail when the target account doesn’t exist yet. The method Alias.set_recipients() checks if the recipient exists, and if not, it throws a NotFound exception instead of creating it. This breaks imports where aliases reference accounts defined later in the same CSV file.

**Workaround**: Edit modoboa/admin/models/alias.py and comment out lines 133–139:

# if rcpt is None:
                    #     raise NotFound(
                    #         _("Local recipient {}@{} not found")
                    #         .format(local_part, domname)
                    #     )
                    # if rcpt.address == self.address:
                    #     raise Conflict

This skips the premature check and allows the import to succeed. Note that after commenting, the import will create the alias even if the target is missing—ensure your CSV lists accounts before aliases if needed.
