To Specify Forwarding Addresses

The mail-forwarding feature of Messaging Server enables a user’s mail to be forwarded to another address instead of or in addition to the primary address for that user.

Delegated Administrator for Messaging provides an end-user HTML interface through which users can themselves specify forwarding addresses. The Console interface and the Delegated Administrator interface both manipulate the same directory attributes; when opened, each shows the current settings, whether they were set by the administrator or by the user.

The Delegated Administrator for Messaging only supports Sun Java System LDAP Schema v. 1, not v.2

   Note –

   Do not set up forwarding address for two users on the same Messaging Server to point to each other if both user accounts have no other delivery type enabled. Doing so can cause mail delivery problems.
