Dear Sirs,
I am looking for the best way to have :
1) email forwarding from my server to an external one (ex Gmail) for all incoming emails.
2) How can have inside server emails forwarding/copy? E.x. for the incoming emails to e.x. common@myserver.com to get copy at: mail1@myserver.com as well as to mail2@myserver.com ?
3) How can I setup email aliases for one (or more) email accounts e.x. name@myserver.com and nameme@myserver.com to go to john@myserver.com
Please instruct me accordingly.
Please be noted that I use the standard iRedMail.

Many Thanks.

Use the mail forwarding:

You can easily manage per-user mail alias addresses with iRedAdmin-Pro, but we don't have a doc for standard iRedMail yet. sorry.

Dear Mr. Huangbin,
thanks a lot for your reply and the support. Because I don't know how to handle the MariaDB sql system (I never involved with sql databases), can you suggesting me a good how to guide to read in order to get the required knowledge and then to do the described modification(s) in the vmail DB ?
Thanks
