forward e-mail for virtual mailbox and leave copy

[f-coval]

Hello i created .forward in a user X home directory and conf. of this file is:

\X,somemail@domain.pl ok forwarder works great and the copy of oryginal message leaves on X mail. But user X has got virtual mail box-es in a directory

$home/imap/domain.pl/virtualmail1
$home/imap/domain.pl/virtualmail2
$home/imap/domain.pl/virtualmail3


And i wish to do forwards for them to and i don't know how to do this using file ".forward"

Please don't double post.

You can either use the forwarders option in DA or edit /etc/virtual/YourDomain/aliases

Add

YourVirtualUser: me@mydomain.com

Thx
It works but for me works only 2 example. I dont know why when creating forward i DA from mail1 to mail2 there is no copy of message on mail1(or no option to select copy on/copy off). And that was my client wish to have a copy on mail1.

Thanks

Is mail1 the main email account that's created when the account was setup?

[f-coval]

Yes it is.

[jissh]

In that case any email sent to that account is actually redirected and never delivered to that account.

The easiest thing to do is forward it to another virtual email account to and have that account forward it to the rest of your recipients.

Generally, do not use .forward files when using DirectAdmin (unless you have a special reason and know what you're doing).

Instead, from the control panel, create a mailbox if you want a local copy, a forward if you want a forward, and both if you want both.
