| To configure
a forward, do the following:
1.Click the forward. This will open its properties
on the right:
2.Configure forward properties:
•Local: the local address
your mail is forwarded from.
•Remote: any local or
external address your mail is forwarded to.
•Catch All: if it's on,
any email sent to a nonexistent account on your
domain will be forwarded to the remote address(es).
Example: you have a forward from
president@example.com pointing to webmaster@example.com.
If you mark this forward as catch all,
incoming mail will be forwarded to webmaster@example.com.
If someone sends an email to support@example.com,
which doesn't exist, this particular message
will still arrive at webmaster@example.com.
If this forward wasn't marked as catch all,
this message would bounce back to the sender
with an error notification.
•Delete: click the
wastebasket icon to delete the forwarding rule.
•Trouble Ticket: send
your technical administrator a Trouble Ticket
to get assistance with the forwarding rule.
Note: You can have a mailbox
named, say, mailbox1@domain.com and
then create a forward with exactly the same
name, i.e. mailbox1@domain.com. However,
in H-Sphere no mail sent to mailbox1@domain.com
is stored in it. A forward works only as a foward. |
