Forward mail to another server

[benc@]

Hi,

I saw this screenshot.... it looks like I can forward mail onto another server - looks like a really useful feature.

I have looked in my control panel, but it doenst look like the option is there.

Any ideas?

You can forward all mail to nonexistent users only for whole domain.
This screenshot made from plesk for windows.

You can forward all mail for a domain to another server on any system using qmail, its very easy to do.

1) Make sure mail is turned off in plesk for that domain

2) edit /var/qmail/control/smtproutes to look like the following:
<domain>:<IP of destination server>

example:
domain.com:10.11.12.13

3) make sure the domain is listed in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

4) restart qmail
/etc/init.d/qmail restart

and thats it!

Excellent, thanks for the reply. Much appreciated! Will give that a go.

Shame there is no web interface for it

You could also just change the MX records for the domain so mail will be sent to the correct location directly.
