Ok here is the problem:

686enterprises.com used to be our main site until we just purchased 686.com. Now dave@686.com is the main email, but anything sent to dave@686enterprises.com will still come to dave@686.com, since the 2 are linked together. The problem is that I used ot get tons of junk mail at dave@686enterprises.com and it is now forwarding it to dave@686.com. Is there a way I can have all the email sent to dave@686enterprises.com forward to dave2@686.com instead of dave@686.com? Thanks

Hi Dave ;)

One thing that you may wish to try would be to setup a custom email filter that tests for dave@686.com as being in the To or CC list as noted in this filter tutorial:
http://www.aota.net/Email_Extras/Recipes.php4

"Redirecting an Email Based on the To or Cc Address - redirects incoming email to forward@example.com if either the To or Cc fields in the message headers contain the address match@example.com
Modify this with 'except' to redirect all email but that sent to dave@686.com

Note: the following filter should be on a single line."condredirect dave2@686.com except iftocc dave@686.comTheoretically any email that is addressed to dave@686enterprises.com but not to dave@686.com should be redirected. Note that this depends on all of your "valid" email having "dave@686.com" in the headers.
Important Information: You should thoroughly test all filters on a test account before implementing, as FutureQuest® cannot recover email lost due to incorrectly configured filters.

Good luck,
Bob
