For instance, you had mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Now you combine and alias both domains, with primary mama and alias papa and your first user is still receiving e-mail at  jdoe@mama.com whereas second user is now [EMAIL PROTECTED] You want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to receive all e-mail going to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but istead, all his mail lands in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Here is what I did. For the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] I set up a rule by which all e-mail destined "to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"  goes to mailbox "resend". Next, I created a file called resend.fwd that I placed in jdoe mail directory. In this file I specified forward address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (file has to be created on DOS editor or Notepad)
 
Worked like a champ for me.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Problems with Delivery Rules

We have a situation were we are converting 28 Novell file servers that each relayed their own mail to one NT Domain using IMail as the mail client.  Because of the 28 different servers we have several users that had duplicate userids but it was no problem previously because of the different mail server names, (exp jdoe@osage and jdoe@omaha).  Now that all of the users are being combined, we are having to change one of the userids in duplicate cases.  I am trying to set up a delivery rule that will catch jdoe@omaha and send it to jadoe@mail.  The jdoe@osage kept the original userid of jdoe and she is getting the mail for both users but the mail for jadoe is going into a subfolder named jadoe within the jdoe mailbox!!!!  Also there are aliases set up for omaha and osage so that those users will continue to receive their mail addressed to their old mail addresses.
 
If anyone has any suggestions, please help.
