To find all of the accounts that have forwarding enabled, simple search for
*.fwd files.  You will have to examine them to see if the destination is
local or not.

To prevent forwarding, you can delete that functionality from the web
interface.  This would prevent the user from setting it up without
contacting you.

For aliases, check the registry entries using regedit.  You can also strip
out the alias support in the web interface.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Stupid forwarding question


I checked the manual and the online KB, but can't find my answer...

We have found that several clients are forwarding incoming mail on our
server, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] to their AOL or other ISP accounts.  This
is causing our server to do unnecessary work, especially with those users
that receive a lot of SPAM... spam comes in, and immediately goes back out
to another address.  It's also cluttering the log files, and could make us
look "not so good"

We plan to implement a change in policy, stating that we will no longer
permit forwarding of incoming mail to a users account to a destination off
the server.  However, I don't know how to put "teeth" on this policy... is
there a way to set iMail to not allow forwarding from mailboxes?  And, is
there any way to get an easy list of all the POP accounts that have
forwarding specified?

Thanks in advance,

Marc
