Multi E-Mail Addresses

UncleSam

Please clarify a bit. What you say is already possible from my point of view, using normal + forward mail account.

You don't clarify anything in my eyes What you're showing in your screenshot is already possible.

I think UncleSam would like to have a form where you can insert a mailbox with its aliases (as other panels do, or as Office 365 does).

Today it's possible with i-MSCP too, but you have to create a mail forward for each of these aliases that gets redirected to the "principal" mailbox.

No true. You need only create a mail account + forward account (same form), then add your aliases (same form)... You do not have to create each mail forward account separately. Note that a forward mail account is nothing more than an alias.

I'm sure we don't understand each other, let's try to explain better.

At present, when you add a "Normal & Forward" you add a single mail address or virtual mailbox that redirects the incoming messages to a single or multiple mailboxes.

What UncleSam needs is the exact opposite. e-mail incoming on multiple mailboxes or aliases on the server gets redirected to a single mailbox.

This beahviour is possible at present, but you need to create a Forward mailbox for each single needed alias.

Example: all e-mails incoming to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] goes in the mailbox [email protected]

I hope to have explained in the good way and I hope also to have understood what UncleSam needs...

If you create a normal + forward account as follows:

mail account: [email protected]

forward (aliases) : [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

then send a message to one of the aliases, mail will be delivered into the [email protected] mailbox.

That's what you want? If yes, what you want is to be able to create local mailboxes from provided aliases list... That's a bit tedious... Such feature isn't provided by other panels. You need first create the local mailboxes, then, list them in aliases list if needed. I don't know any panel which will create the local mailboxes using alias addresses list automatically. And here, I don't talk about possible "loopback to myself" problems...

Hi Nuxwin,

thank you for clarification. If it's tedious I'm sure that who needs that feature will be able to live with the creation of multiple forwards with the "main" mailbox as target.

I hope that UncleSam understood what you wrote

Thank you anyway
