Greetings;
Well ... darn ... I thought this was a forum for obtaining help on issues
with Ipswitch Imail. Either I misread the description of the forum or there
in no one that knows the answer to my question or maybe no one understand my
question ... or perhaps no one gives a damn about my question. I will try
asking one more time and if no one thinks this is important enough to
answer, I will move onto another list or just call Ipswitch or my host
company directly. I really thought this would be an easy question to answer.
There have been 173 posts since I put this question on the board last
Friday. Maybe I'm just too damn impatient.
When I wish to have an email address for each member of a gaming guild, and,
the guild's web hosting company uses Ispswitch's IMail server software, I
create an alias with the guild's domain and the guild member's name as the
user id portion of the email address. I point the alias to whatever the
member's real email address is which they use on a regular basis.
There are approximately 95 members in the guild. A few of these guild
members have not given us their real email address, so, no alias exists for
them on the IMail server, however, the list the guild creates of guild
member email addresses includes an email address for every member of the
guild. When I send email to all members of the guild using this list, I do
not receive any indication as the owner of the site, and, postmaster of the
site, that any errors have occurred in the delivery process for those
members where no alias has been created on the IMail server. The email
"appears" to send without errors. (I use Microsoft Outlook as my email
client.)
In hoping I have not painted a truly confusing picture, perhaps someone
might shed some light on this dilemma for me. Would one solution to enable
receiving delivery errors be to create a mailbox for each guild member and
then use the forwarding field available with IMail to forward email the
guild member receives for them at their guild email address to their more
familiar email address? I figured this would create more work and overhead
for server and administrator for what I thought the alias will do for me.
Please advise.
Much thanks in advance.
