Hi all,

I have question:
I want incoming mail, to lets say John@company.com, being rerouted to Mail@company.com, and NOT to John. So far, no problem...

But, i want all _local_ users ( *.*@company.com) to be able to mail John directly. But since i routed the mail to allMail@comapny, John isnt getting any mail.

I prefer not to use 2 acounts, like John@company.com for his internet-bound-mail, and a seperate email for his local collegues to use.

How do i, if possible, fix this?

Thanks alot in advance!

How are you rerouting? If I wanted to send all my incoming mail to a certain mailbox, I'd just assign it all my obvious internet email addresses. Then, if you want to send internal mail and you're using Outlook as a client, you can just choose the other person from the address book.

This wouldn't work if you use a pop3 only email client.
 
dear sforslev,

Im afraid i dont quite understand you:

if a put all my incoming mail (*@company.com) into the mail@company.com mailbox then also locally send mail to John@company.com will end up there, but that should not happen.

Local mail should be delivered directly to the user. and mail from 'outside' should go to mail@company.com.

All users need to keep their emailadresses they now have!
Maybe i forgot to metion that

Any more suggestions?

Thanks for your time
