Thanks for your product and support and sorry for my English :-)

When I setup a new mail user with iRedAdmin a new record is created in "mailbox" table and "forwardings" table.

Is this really mandatory ??

In previous versions I only create a new record in "alias" table (forwardings table is new in this verion) if I want to forward the msg and keep a copy in user mailbox.

I have tried to create a new user and to delete the "forwardings" record for this user and it works fine (the user receives the msgs in his mailbox) .... so .... Why are created the "forwardings" record by default ??

Thanks for your help again ...
