Help With Redirecting Emails

[MPaul]

I've set up an IRM on my account, and I've also set up an email address that is suppose to be for that IRM only. Lets say that the full package is mydomain.com and the IRM is myirm.com. I've set up an email address, info@mydomain.com which is suppose to be used by the IRM only. So whenever someone sends a mail to info@mydomain.com, or info@myirm.com they get sent to the same account. The IRM website is not mine, but rather my father's, and I don't want him to get all the spam that's being sent to my domain also.

The basic setup that I'd want to do (but don't know how to) is the following one:
- Emails addressed to info@mydomain.com are redirected to webmaster@mydomain.com
- Emails addressed to info@myirm.com should be redirected to MrPaul@somedomain.com (my father's email).

Is it possible to do this with the built-in filters, or would I need to write a custom filter?

You may be able to achieve this set-up using Built-In filters with the Recipient filter.

There've been several discussions about using the Built-In Recipient filter for IRMs and IRO email addresses. You might want to search for previous discussions on this topic in the forums.

Thanks sheila, I figured it out. But I couldn't have done it without this post (http://www.aota.net/forums/showthread.php?postid=103017#post103017) which pointed me in this direction (http://www.aota.net/Email_Extras/Recipes.php4#redirect).

Note that the "iftocc" approach won't intercept mail that's been BCC'd to info@myirm.com. I recall a discussion of BCC filtering here, but the built-in SMTP Recipient filter will cover all the bases.

Yeah, I realise that, but I didn't understand how the SMTP Recepient filter works, the settings it asks are confusing to me (I don't see how I'm supposed to used the banned recepient list and what I should put there).

[Randall]

It is a little unclear. In your case, the "banned" recipient is the one you're going to redirect. So if you have an info alias pointing to webmaster@mydomain.com, your banned recipient is "info@myirm.com." Then put "MrPaul@somedomain.com" in the Redirect field.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I did that and it works also. Thanks again, the CNC explanation was kind of confusing.
