Support for "redirect" sieve filter action
With sieve filters ( dovecot ) you can have a rule like this :
if true { redirect "email@domain.com"; }
Forward Keep Action
if true { keep; stop; }
What this does is redirect any mail that comes to the mailbox using this filter to the address specified in the "redirect" directive. You can have the option to keep or don't keep the message in the inbox also ( the keep directive ). If you wish to not "keep" the rule gets shorter like this :
Forwards
if true { redirect "email@domain.com"; stop; }
Why is this feature needed ? I want to be able to have mailboxes that forward emails to another email address ( or multiple email addresses ). Not like aliases. You can have multiple redirects like this :
if true { redirect "email@domain.com"; redirect "email2@domain.com"; redirect "email3@domain2.local"; stop; }
You could have a local email server ( like ms-exchange ) that you don't want to expose to internet and just want to receive mail for certain mail boxes for it's domain, but not all. And you want to keep an archive of emails on the ispconfig mail server. I think it's a must have/ciritcal functionality.
