RE: [cobalt-users] Mail Forwarding

["Steven Glogger" <Steven@xxxxxxxxxx>]

on the raq there is the possibility to do this :-)
just go to the user management of the virtual site
choose the user and go to the email settings...
on the  point: "forward email to:"
simply put in:
email@xxxxxxxxxxx,\username

then the mail will be delivered to the local user:username and to the
email-address email@xxxxxxxxxxxx

-Steve
