I searched in the docs and forum but didn’t find info on what really does the “e-mail forwarding” functionality accessible from the SSO.
What I would expect to happen:
Let’s say my yunohost account is something@yuno.tld
, I put as forward address me@otherserver.tld
.
Now I expect that all incoming mails to something@yuno.tld
will be forwarded to my other email address me@otherserver.tld
and removed from something@yuno.tld
inbox.
What happens instead:
- If I open the roundcube of
yuno.tld
, mails are still there, old ones (ok) but also newly received ones (from after adding the forward). - I’m not receiving any forwarded mail in
me@otherserver.tld
inbox.
Maybe the first point is not a bug but a feature, and mails are not removed after being forwarded. Is there a way to have them removed (in order not to occupy unnecessary space on yuno.tld
disk)?
For the second point, maybe there is something wrong in my setup but I don’t really understand what.
The specific setup:
The two servers yuno.tld
and otherserver.tld
are in fact two vms in a same machine. What I’m trying to achieve is to receive admin emails of yuno.tld
in the inbox of otherserver.tld
admin, so I don’t have to check multiple inboxes to see problems.
At the moment yuno.tld
cannot receive emails from the outside, since all the mail traffic coming to the main machine is forwarded to otherserver.tld
(the main machine has only one IP so I don’t think I can have multiple mail servers accessible from the outside). But I would expect the server to still be able to send emails, especially to a neighbor VM.
If anyone has any idea or insights on how forwarding normally works or on this specific setup.
Thanks
