This feature use "artica-filter" to forward Email To Another Email Account in the right way.
Why Artica-filter ?
Many mail server perform checks between the smtp sender domain and the server that send mails.
In the standard way redirected mail are rejected by most of ISP mail services because SMTP server that perform the redirection will not change dynamically the sender domain.
For example :
mail from: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it => redirect => mail from: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it => rejected because your server did not handle hotmail.com
Artica-filter is in charge of modify the sender email address in the SMTP transactions but keep the header in the original way.
In this case remote server will trust the server because the sender domain is your domain and users will see the original sender address because mail client will display only attributes stored in messages headers.

You can use an external Mysql database to store redirect rules.
Note : Artica-filter is limited to 10 targeted accounts for each internal user
you should create a redirectmail table on your mysql server :
use this sql command:
CREATE TABLE `redirectmail` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`from` varchar(255) default NULL,
`mail` varchar(255) default NULL,
`del` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `from` (`from`),
KEY `del` (`del`)
)
- has del is 1 or 0 that enable or disable the rule.
- from field is the internal user.
- mail field is the next email address that receive redirected mails.
Use artica database.
Artica has it's own mysql server and store already this table.
If you use artica Mysql database, you can create your redirect rules in this way :
- Open the user account section and choose "Messaging" tab
- click on Inbound parameters
- Give the next email account that receive redirected mail in the "Redirect messages to" field in press Enter key.
- You should see on the bottom-right side accounts that receive redirected mail.
