Hi Noor: If I understand you right, it is possible to do this right now in XMail. Here's what I do:
1) Create a user called "default" (this is just my name for it, call it whatever you want) 2) Create a forward for that user using a mailproc.tab to the target e-mail address 3) Create an alias for that user using the "*" wildcard. This will forward all mail sent to a particular domain to a single e-mail address, regardless of the requested e-mail address at that domain. Hope that helps.

I understood everything you've written, and I'm sure that I could do that in XMAIL. The one thing that is missing, still, is the ability to forward an E-mail without knowing where it's going. Think of it like this: I only know the domain name, and I want to forward each and every message that that domain is getting, to another e-mail address. What you suggested works well when I know that a specific USER wants to forward all messages to another EMAIL. What I am asking is how to forward an entire DOMAIN, regardless of the [EMAIL PROTECTED], to another EMAIL address. Do you get it?

Frankly, my favorite way to do this is using one of the GUI/Web style interfaces available. My favorite is at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmail In any case, you would first create an alias for the domain.name domain, with global pointing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (assuming you control another-domain.name. if you don't, it should be set up a forward in mailproc.tab). If you were directly editing your aliases.tab file, it would look like this: "domain.name"[tab]"global"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" You would then set up all the aliases that point to the global address: "domain.name"[tab]"info"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "domain.name"[tab]"jobs"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "domain.name"[tab]"support"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" For the one user address, that would be "domain.name"[tab]"user"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED] e" If both the global and user domains are forwards to different mailservers, they would be stored in: /var/MailRoot/domains/domain.name/global/mailproc.tab and /var/MailRoot/domains/domain.name/user/mailproc.tab and where /var/MailRoot/domains/domain.name/global/mailproc.tab looks like: "redirect"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and /var/MailRoot/domains/domain.name/user/mailproc.tab looks like: "redirect"[tab]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Your last rule is done using the aliasdomains.tab file: "same-domain.name"[tab]"domain.name" Let me know of any of this helps (or if you get confused, or if I've got it all wrong).
