CATEGORY: E-Mail - Setting Up Your E-Mail Programs To Send and Receive E-Mail

QUESTION:
Forwarding restrictions

ANSWER:
You can use Mail Manager to set up mailboxes, create aliases (box1 sends directly to box2), and even forward mail off our server to be received somewhere else (like box@aol.com).

But there is one important exception:


Using mail manager, you can set up the following:


box1 ---> box1

box1 ---> box1, box2 (both boxes get a copy)

box1 ---> box2


box1 ---> box@aol.com

box1 ---> box1, box@aol.com

box1 ---> box1, box2, box@aol.com


BUT YOU CANNOT SETUP:


box1 --> box2, box@aol.com


because box2 will never get its mail **in this case only**

unless there is a real box1.

___________________________________

In addition, you can't do this:


box1 -->box2 ---> box3


You have to do this:


box1 --> box2, box3


Update: Recently @gte.net addresses can not be forwarded to due to restrictions the @gte.net server has on forwarding email to them.
