help with mail forwarding
-
Hi all, just wanted to canvass your ideas: A friend of mine has started a new company that employs just three people. They have registered a domain (and parking etc), and now wish to setup mail accounts. One account in particular is a general 'info@company.net' - but this mail account needs to be setup so that all mails sent to this address are duplicated and forwarded to all three employees, so that all company members can keep track of whats happening. Only one employee will administer this account, but the other two need to see mail transactions happening also. Is this kind of mail management possible at all? Has anyone experience of this kind of setup? cheers,

If you're using a linux based server, it's pretty simple to just have a user set up called "info" that has forwarding rules set up to forward mails to defined other mailboxes. [Edit] - just mentioning Linux as I have experience administering that - I'd imagine if it's easy on Linux, it'd be easy on a Windows server too [/edit] Either that, or just set up some sort of mailing list, subscribe all employees to it, and give it the "info" alias for incoming mail.

It is possible. My ISP gives me a mailbox control panel through which I could set up multiple forwarders for any mailbox on my account.

thanks all, so it looks as if this kind of thing is possible, but mileage will vary between ISPs.. at any rate there is a simple solution :-) cheers,
