Hello,

My question in short:

Is it possible to set up an alias to forward emails to an external address without local delivery?

In more detail:

Suppose I manage the domain example.com with Modoboa. I have a simple account user@example.com and an alias alias@example.com forwarding emails to someuser@some-other-domain.com.

I want to set up the alias to forward emails to the external address and skip local delivery to the account user@example.com.

Is this possible?

I want to set up other accounts and aliases for the same domain with local delivery.

I'm using:

Modoboa: 1.13.1

I seem to remember this could be achieved in some earlier Modoboa versions. It might have been before the merger of forward and alias?

Thank you,

Miklos

I am interested in this feature as well, as I administer a couple of domains where all they do for email is forward to real email addresses.
