    What I need to do:
    1) I need to use the virual domains (I think) to get an info@domain1.com and info@domain2.com to be two separate mailboxes. Making the usernames “info1” with “info@domain1.com” as a short name (heh) and “info2” with a short name of “info@domain2.com” in WGM is working for this.

    2) I need to be able to have info@domain1.com auto forward to user@yahoo.com. Setting forwarding for the user in WGM is working for this.

    But I can’t get them to work together. I have determined that if the domain name is in the Mail config’s Local Host Aliases list in Server Admin then the forwarding works perfect if you just sent the email to “info1@anylocaldomain.com”. But when the domain is in that list, the virual user alias thing doesn’t work. When sending an email to the aliased-short-name-equivalent info@domain1.com it returns a “Mailbox does not exist” error (because technically it would be local user info@domain1.com@anylocaldomain.com – follow me?).

    If I put the domain name in the Locally Hosted Virtual Domains list, the mail gets delivered to info@domain1.com, but the forwarding doen’t work and it winds up in info1’s mailbox (which you can’t log into when forwarding is set).

    I’ve tried to put the domain in both places, but the local takes precedence and the mailbox not found message is returned.

    Please tell me there is a way to get these two features to work in tandem.

    Thanks in advance for any help. It’s greatly appreciated.

    -Neil
