Figure 8-21
Manage Email Forwarding
In this section, users can configure the default mail drop for a domain, or manage Email Forwards or Email Aliases that they have setup. Figure 8-22 shows the two options that users will have.
Figure 8-22
Configure Default Mail Drop
This section is great for users who want to have all email for a domain received by someone in an organization. For instance, assume the user has email accounts for the following 3 employees, and each of them are POP email accounts:
After a year, Joe leaves the organization. The POP account for Joe may be removed, but an email Forward or Alias may not be set in place for Joe. If the default email drop is configured to send any email account that does not exist to Bob, then email sent to Joe will be received by Bob. In fact, email sent to addresses that don’t or have never existed will get to Bob as well.
To use this feature, click the Configure Default Mail Drop from the screen shown in Figure 8-22 above. The form listed in Figure 8-23 will display. The following fields are required to complete the default mail drop configuration.
Alias Name: The word DEFAULT is already assumed, as this is configuring the default mail drop.
Domain Name: This is the domain name for the default email drop. Default email drops can be setup for each domain name to go to different email addresses.
