What is the best way to set up a global email account. 602 receives through smtp, want all emails with xxxx.com domain to go to user xxxx box.
Thanks very.

I think you are looking for the archive feature. Designate an account within lansuite for archiving and set that account to forward all emails to the external email account.

No this isn't what I need. Perhaps I didn't explain fully.
602 is presently serving several domains wonderfully. I want to use this install as a backup email server for a domain on another server. The mx records for domain xxxx.com would be set so this server is second to contact. If the primary goes down, emails are routed to this server as backup. Email then can be retrieved later.

Hi Sam,
What you need to do is setup a secondary pointer in your MX records. Perhaps you can read it up at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record
Read the section "MX Priority". Good luck.

Thank you, yes I know all about the secondary pointer.
Again "only" within 602, the email must be delivered to an email box. If I were polling a POP3 account all this email could be directed to ONE user. BUT, when receiving via SMTP, the email would be sorted to the matching user. "Will 602 reliability work with a wildcard in the name e.g. *@xxxx.com and all the SMTP mail to that domain be delivered to this user." Or, how else can this be done????
