I have several email addresses on my domain that fowards to another address.  Is there a way for the message to just directly fwd to the new address and not stay on the server?

thanks

yes i did.

that's what i thought.
but it DOES stay on the server in my case, which is why I was asking...
i was just checking the mailboxes of my forwarding addressing and they had kept messages from a couple months ago, which also been fwd'd to my other address.  i just tested it again, and it still keeps the message.

Do you have a POP3 account and a forwarding account with the same name?

That would make it stay on the server.

Yeah, it shouldn't be as an account, just as a forwarder.

Forwarding addresses don't really exist in a way, they are not pop3 accounts.

If you delete the pop3 account, and leave the forwarder, it should be fine.

There isn't a limit, you can have as many as you like (on either plan)

To collect e-mails and forward them, you need real e-mail addresses.

Then, in the forwarding section, add two forwarders, for the same e-mail address, pointing to two different addresses.

e.g.

address@address.com ---->  user@domain.com
address@address.com ---->  user2@domain.com

I haven't explained very well. Write back if you don't understand.

Say you want mail to addy1@yourdomain.com to forward to....say...a hotmail account.

You set up forwarding for that address, but don't create the address in your control panel.  Now, you will, of course, get that mail at your hotmail acct, when you log in and check your mail, and there will be no mail stored at your domain for that account (because it doesn't exist).

If you use Outlook Express, you can choose to forward mail you receive from an existing pop account, and it will delete it from the server.


To set up fwd with autoreply, simply create an autoreply, create a forwarder, and just don't create the email account!  So, set up an autoreplyer for mail to addy1@yourdomain.com, and set all mail to addy1 to be forwarded to any real account.  Don't create the account addy1@yourdomain.com and mail will forward and not stay anywhere, and you'll still have an autoresponder set up for addy1@yourdomain.com.

Anybody who sends mail to addy1 will receive the autoreply, and you will get their forwarded message at your target address.
