Re: [cobalt-users] E-mail forwarding.

[Jeff Lasman <jlasman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've said this before, but I'll say it again <smile>:

This is what works.  It works perfectly.  I do it.
Domain Name:  foo-bar.com (or www.foo-bar.com>
User:         catchall (this name doesn't matter)
Password:     ******** (doesn't really matter either, you never log into it)
Alias:        @www.foo-bar.com
Forward:      mailbox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(No, that doesn't mean to use eight asterisks for the password <smile>.)

The "@" symbol works only for this special case.

The "www." in the alias is ignored.  Mail sent to <anyone@xxxxxxxxxxx> will 
forward to <mailbox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
