Setup Email Forwarding
In this section, users will have the ability to create email forwarding accounts. An email forward, or email alias is in essence a fake name or email address that points to a real email address, either on or off the server. There are two types of email forwards, which are outlined below.
Example 1:
webmaster@domain.com is forwarded to bob@domain.com, where bob is a POP Email account. POP email accounts are the same as the “Email Accounts” talked about in a previous section of this User’s Guide.
Example 2:
webmaster@domain.com is forwarded to bob@aol.com, and this address is outside of AIT’s network.
To add an Email Forward of either type listed above, complete the form as displayed in Figure 8-11 below. In this example, the Email Forward is for “webmaster”. The domain name the Email Forward is for is selected from the drop down menu. The Alias Type tells the SMT whether to setup the alias like the Example 1 above, or to set it up like Example 2.
Figure 8-11
If POP3 mail account is selected, then the user will select the POP3 email account in the Alias To input box, as Figure 8-12 shows.
