Attention
With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can manage mail forwarding addresses in user
profile page, under tab Forwarding
.
Screenshot:
Let's say you have an existing mail user user@domain.com
, and you want to
forward all received emails to another address forward@example.com
,
to achieve this, you can login to SQL server and update vmail
database like
below:
USE vmail;
INSERT INTO forwardings (address,
forwarding,
domain,
dest_domain,
is_forwarding,
active)
VALUES ('user@domain.com',
'forward@example.com',
'domain.com',
'example.com',
1,
1);
If you want to forward email to multiple addresses, please create more records like above:
USE vmail;
-- Forwarding to address 'forward-2@example.com'
INSERT INTO forwardings (address,
forwarding,
domain,
dest_domain,
is_forwarding,
active)
VALUES ('user@domain.com',
'forward-2@example.com',
'domain.com',
'example.com',
1,
1);
-- Forwarding to address 'forward-3@example.com'
INSERT INTO forwardings (address,
forwarding,
domain,
dest_domain,
is_forwarding,
active)
VALUES ('user@domain.com',
'forward-3@example.com',
'domain.com',
'example.com',
1,
1);
To save a copy of forwarded email in mailbox, please add your own email address as a forwarding destination like below:
Attention
This SQL record exists by default, but it's a good idea to make sure it
exists. If it exists, you will get error like ERROR 1062
(23000): Duplicate entry 'user@domain.com-user@domain.com' for key
'address'
, don't panic.
INSERT INTO forwardings (address,
forwarding,
domain,
dest_domain,
is_forwarding,
active)
VALUES ('user@domain.com',
'user@domain.com',
'domain.com',
'domain.com',
1,
1);
