shadyDW Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Can anyone here please explain to me how I can set up my domain mailbox in order to have all my received mail forward to another email address. Thanks... Quote
Nick_ Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Hiya. If you just want all mail to example.com (example.com being your domain) to go to another address, you should just set the "Default" (or Catch All) address in your mail menu to the address you want it all forwarded too. That'll make any mail sent to an address which doesn't have a mailbox to be sent to this address. Quote
TCH-Rick Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 And please don't set it to an AOL address. Default addresses and forwarders set to an AOL address will likely result in your domain being reported for spamming when spam is forwarded through it. Quote

lfedje Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I have a situation where I have set up 2 email addresses, one for myself and one for my client. I want all mail sent to me@**** to be forwarded to my primary email address, and all mail sent to her@**** to be forwarded to her personal address. The trouble is that my client is on AOL and has an AOL address. Mine works ok, however her forward funciton gets deleted all the time. I just noted that you should not use the forwarder to send to and AOL account. How can I get around this? I am very confused about these mail accounts! The only way that I can see it working properly is to leave her mail account on TCH and have her access it through Hord. The trouble is that I can't seem to figure out what her url to her account would be. Loren Quote
taznumber1 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I would suggest that she just use squirrel mail. The url for that would be https://yourdomain/sqmail then in the username she would enter her@**** and then just enter her password. TCH already has this setup for you to use and it is a very easy mail client to use. But as far as forwarding to AOL the reason it get deleted all the time is because TCH does not want spam to be forwarded thru it's servers and getting the servers blacklisted to AOL since these are shared servers.

The trouble is that I can't seem to figure out what her url to her account would be. Loren Since you can't directly forward her mail to AOL you can do the following. Set up a GMail account for her. Forward all mail to the GMail account. Set the GMail account to forward to AOL. It has been known to work. Or as said in the other post pick up the mail with the web broswer using Horde or SquirrelMail. To access Horde directly use: >http://yourTCHdomain.ext:2095/horde/index.php Quote
Deverill Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Loren, I use the method Bruce outlines above with Gmail for one of my clients. It works fine and isn't hard to set up. Unfortunately, if spammer.com sends emails to your-tch-domain.com and then you forward it to AOL then they just say your-tch-domain.com is spamming them and would block you and all other customers on that server. Bottom line, they are too lazy to actually look at the headers and see where it originated. I guess they figure it would not be in their best interest to block a "major" email service like Gmail. Go figure. Quote
cai Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I had a few email forwarders set up that were being forwarded to non-aol email addresses. I've logged into my account and only 1 of the forwarders I had set up exist now. I don't know how long my forwarders have been gone for, and am un-happy with the fact I might have lost months worth of certain email messages. Has this happened to anyone else, and does anyone know how to prevent forwarders from being deleted...or at the very least being notified before a fowarder is deleted? Chris Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I remember a while back there was a bug in cPanel that would do that. Please open a ticket with the help desk so the techs can check out your account. Quote
