Hello,

Would it be possible to forward email to another server in a per-user basis? That is, I would like that f.e. for user user@domain.com incoming mail could be forwarded to server W.X.Y.Z

Thanks for your attention.

Re: [SOLVED] Forward email to another server in a per-user basis

Thanks for your answer, it helped me to figure out a solution

The transport field in the mailbox table for the user record must be in the form: 

smtp:[server_fqdn]

In my case I modified with the following command:

update mailbox set transport='smtp:[external_server_FQDN]' where username='user@domain.com';

Now it's working.

Thanks again.
Best regards,
