Forward one email account to multiple destinations

Forward one email account to multiple destinations
Greetings,
When I add a Email Forward (On Sentora Home / Mail / Forwards ) it does not let me use the same account again.

I need to, for example:
account_a@domain.tld -> Forward To: account_b@domain.tld
account_a@domain.tld -> Forward To: account_c@domain.tld

Basically I want to have one account that is sent to multiple users (in this case it is the sales@ to be sent to various employees)

Is there any tweak/module I can use to easily make this work?

Simplest way:
login into root mysql
go to sentora->sentora_postfix->alias
choose your desired mailbox to forward and edit:

Hope this will help

Sentora team should add this to feature...

Thank You @[kostek],
I've been doing it exactly like you explained (thank you, its a great explanation).

But I was looking for a interface feature, I can't request my clients to do this themselves Smile

Anyways, Thank you!!

@[apinto] I'm glad I could help. If you know a little PHP, you can add this feature alone, or try ask the developers of sentora to add such a feature.

You can easely do with roudcube and the managesieve filter. Login with the sales account and add new rules to forward the mail to as many as you want

It is not the same.
I'm working on a module to do this.

Actually the headers are modified and the message is sent as FW:
It's not the same as a alias.

Thanks for this.

Although successful to forward, it became complicated to 'delete' the user ( main user account related to the domain, not the mailbox ) since it would just 'fail' on removing this mailbox, and then left a whole lot of mismashed records in the database relating to the username while removing the user. Further complication was that this user or admin email related to the user could no longer be added on the live database until everything was slowly manually removed by editing db rows.

Just wanted to caution anyone else trying to do this Smile

Looking forward to your module, apinto!

Also -- is there a reason why forwards require a mailbox to be created as a first step with a password and everything? Why not just allow a user@domain forwarding out like many other control panels do -- as simple as an alias.

Thanks!
