No not with aliases. But there exists a daemon that upon arrival changes the TO address form, so that it looks to be natively to the remotedomain.com and replaces the inbound job in the queue. If the MX-pointers then are in place, the message is routed off host. The daemon is called MXREDIR, located at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~fenke/files/

Hi,

I've read much about redireting in this forums' threads, but nothing that suits my problem. I want to use Mercury-Mailserver just as a simple Redirector. I dont want to have any mailboxes for users but I want Mercury to redirect everything to other Mailboxes.

For example I have a mailbox at gmx. The Mailaddress for the user is user1@gmx.com. Now I have my server with Mercury running on it and there are many domains registered to this server. Lets say there is a domain called "domain.com". So all I want Mercury to do know is:

Accepting a mail to user1 and redirecting it to the gmx-mailbox. (I write a mail to "user1@domain.com" and Mercury automatically redirects the mail to user1@gmx.com)

I saw solutions like Forward-Files etc. but I dont want to create a mailbox for user1 on my Mailserver, so i cannot put a forward-file into the users dir because it doesnt exist. I only want some rule for Mercury, that tells him, that every mail *@domain.com is redirected to *@gmx.com. I havent found anything about this and I even dont know if it will be possible this way, but if it is, i would appreciate your comments and help for this problem.

Thanks in advance!

You do this with an alias as: john.doe@localdomain.com == john.doe@remotedomain.com

Ok, thanks for the info. The next question would be, if I can also make wildcard-aliases. I mean, is it possible to make an alias like *@localdomain.com --> *@remotedomain.com ? The problem is, that I dont want to make a new alias for every user, because there will be many of them.
