Can mailcow be used as an email forwarding service for certain mailboxes where - Emails forwarded: users can set fowarding from x@mailcow.domain to another destination a@external.domain without storing, but can an administrator do this upon creation of a mailbox? - No emails are stored: can the administrator also indicate upon creation of a mailbox that no copy needs to be kept of the emails. => https://community.mailcow.email/d/1841-manage-users-sogo-set-forwarding-settings seems to be a good pointer. - If th SOGO access is disabled by administrator upon creation of the mailbox, the user can not change anymore the forewording options, nor the setting that no copies of the mail is kept? Or can these setting nevertheless be changed by external programs? Without SOGO access, the user can not store calendars and an address books on the mail server? - if beside setting-up forwarding emails without keeping a copy in the mailbox, the administrator sets the storage amount of the mailbox to 1MiB: what is the impact? Can this be an extra setting to avoid storing mail in the mailbox of the users? Does this impact the forwarding in case a@external.domain is not reachable for a certain time? - Can the user send emails with x@mailcow.domain if SOGO access is disabled? And if storage is set to 1MiB? - Is there a way to avoid logging of mail traffic? - What in case incoming mail is getting in the spam folder? Can user access it? Setting space to 1MiB makes storage of spam impossible? Or is better to let the spam mails be forwarded? PS: for no-reply mailboxes, should quota be set low, e.g. 1MiB ?

Can mailcow be used as an email forwarding service for certain mailboxes where

Emails forwarded: users can set fowarding from x@mailcow.domain to another destination a@external.domain without storing, but can an administrator do this upon creation of a mailbox?
No emails are stored: can the administrator also indicate upon creation of a mailbox that no copy needs to be kept of the emails. => https://community.mailcow.email/d/1841-manage-users-sogo-set-forwarding-settings seems to be a good pointer.
If th SOGO access is disabled by administrator upon creation of the mailbox, the user can not change anymore the forewording options, nor the setting that no copies of the mail is kept? Or can these setting nevertheless be changed by external programs? Without SOGO access, the user can not store calendars and an address books on the mail server?
if beside setting-up forwarding emails without keeping a copy in the mailbox, the administrator sets the storage amount of the mailbox to 1MiB: what is the impact? Can this be an extra setting to avoid storing mail in the mailbox of the users? Does this impact the forwarding in case a@external.domain is not reachable for a certain time?
Can the user send emails with x@mailcow.domain if SOGO access is disabled? And if storage is set to 1MiB?
Is there a way to avoid logging of mail traffic?
What in case incoming mail is getting in the spam folder? Can user access it? Setting space to 1MiB makes storage of spam impossible? Or is better to let the spam mails be forwarded?

PS: for no-reply mailboxes, should quota be set low, e.g. 1MiB ?

Hello all, in Zimbra we have an option on the admin panel, in the user configuration to set a forward address and also to set it in a way that isn’t visible to the user itself.

How can this be achieved in mailcow? since we are migrating the Zimbra server domain to another domain and we need to forward the emails to the other domain.
But there is a caveat, since we still need to use some users for services, and those can’t be forwarded, so not a full domain forward.

Can this be done?

Regards.

jasgggit set a forward address and also to set it in a way that isn’t visible to the user itself.

What you mean is the “BCC Maps” under “Mailboxes - address rewriting”.

esackbauer I thought of it but somehow didn’t sound like the correct approach I’ll take a look and do some testing. Thank you for pointing the direction.
