Mail forwarding from one domain to another

[Arvind]

Hello,

 

I am trying to forward all the incoming email to one domain to another.

I read the man pages, and found out that, the best way to ensure, that a copy of the email is not retained is, not to have an account in the domain which will autoforward to another domain.

 

Currently, i have set the forwarding for all emails coming to my X.co.cc domain to my X.heliohost.org.

But the email is constantly bouncing and i get a mailer daemon failure saying, that,

5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'No Such User Here'

 

Can anybody please help me ?

 

thanks

What steps have you taken to set auto-forwarding on? Did you create an email account apart from the default one?

Hello,

 

1. I went to the 'Forwarders' under the Mail section.

2. Clicked on 'Add Domain forwarder'.

3. From the drop down menu, i choose X.co.cc.

4. typed in arvind.heliohost.org in the right side box and added this entry.

5. Went back to the 'Email Accounts' from the control panel.

 

Here I see only only one account, under 'Default Email account'.

The 'Account @ domai' grid is empty as i dont have any accounts for X.co.cc added.

 

So, now as per the documentation, all mails coming to X.co.cc, should be pushed to the default account, in the default domain (arvind.heliohost.org).

 

Please do advice, if I missed anything ?

 

Do I need to add any mx entry for the default domain to accept email for another domain ?

Or does the MTA need an entry for a virtual domain ?

 

 

thanks

Arvind

If I understand you correctly, you want all mail from one domain to be sent directly into an email account on another domain. Why not just use "Set Default Address"?

[Arvind]

Well not exactly like that.

 

I want to add email accounts to only my primary domain arvind.heliohost.org.

 

So, if I am hosting 3 or 4 domains....then all emails sent to those domains would be sent to the respective accounts on the heliohost.org domain.

 

In this way, I only create mailboxes in heliohost.org and sit back.

 

 

Think of it this way.

suppose i have hosted X.co.cc , Y.co.cc, Z.co.cc

 

and someone sends an email, to

arvind@X.co.cc or

arvind@Y.co.cc or

arvind@Z.co.cc

 

all of it should fall into the mailbox of 'arvind' @heliohost.org.

 

So, If i add another account , say 'support' @heliohost.org.

then any email which is addressed to 'support' to any of those domains, will automatically arrive into the

support mailbox of heliohost.org.

 

Saves me time to add accounts to all those domains and make my admin job easier. And also the mail checking and handling is easier, as I have to only check one email box.

 

Any ideas ?

 

thanks

Did you create an email account besides the default one provided by cPanel?

For the record, we don't offer "@heliohost.org" emails. You can forward to a subdomain, though.

Thanks a ton my friends. As soon, as i saw that, user@heliohost.org does not exist..

i understood, that i needed to make a default account for my heliohost default domain.

 

the mail box user(your account name) is not same as an email account with the default domain.

 

so, now I am able to catch all my forwarded emails from the other domain to my default domain :-).

 

thanks a ton once again. heliohost rocks!!!!
