Forwarding Emails

If you have set up a backup mail server for your domain, you can use the configured ETRN account to forward messages from the backup server to your primary server by following these steps:

1. On your primary server, enable and schedule the sending of emails to the ETRN account.
2. Go to Configuration > Domains and double-click the backup server.
3. On the Forwarding tab, select If the recipient was not found in this domain, forward the message to another host.
4. Type the primary server hostname and port.
5. Select Offline - delivery is triggered by ETRN command from remote host.
6. Click OK.
   
   

The primary server queries the backup server regularly using the ETRN command.
