Creating email forwarders for Servmix Email
Before setting up your forwarder
What kind of email forwarders can be created?
There are two types of forwarders that can be created with this feature:
-
Internal forwarders - From a Servmix Email account to another Servmix Email account (both domains' MX records should be pointing to Servmix)
-
External forwarders - From a Servmix Email account to en external email service such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. or to a domain that isn't hosted at Servmix and is not pointing to Servmix MX records.
If you wish to forward emails from your Servmix Email account to a domain hosted at Servmix that is using different MX records (eg. Google Workspace), you can do so by creating a filter using Webmail instead.
