Title: Use ingo filters to forward email
Post by: dws4wdr on May 12, 2008, 04:39:00 PM
I'm trying to figure out how to create a filter/rule in ingo to forward emails from a certain sender to an external email account. All I can find is stuff about the backends.php file but no real info on how to configure it or examples. Am I missing something or is there a better way?

You could use dungog's smeserver-mailsorting. Together with smeserver-userpanel you will get an easy to use way to sort the mail, forward it, put it in a different mail folder and so on.
Have a look at http://www.dungog.net/wiki/Usermanager (http://www.dungog.net/wiki/Usermanager) for an tutorial.

Not exactly what I'm looking for. We want to be able to add a rule in webmail that will forward a email say from joe@me.com to an external email address. But not all the recipients email. Just the ones coming from joe@me.com .

Moving to Contrib section where this topic is more appropriate.

Ingo is in the base SME Server install, so this shouldn't be in the contribs section, IMO.  You can not use ingo for this.  Ingo only does filtering.  There is a horde module called forwards, which is also part of the sork package that may do what you want, but you would need to configure it.  I have never looked at it before so I can't tell you for sure if it will.  http://www.horde.org/forwards/

I don't know what board you are referring to, but horde, imp, ingo, and turba are part of the standard SMe Server install. 

horde - framework
imp - webmail
turba - contacts
ingo - filters

e[nt]e's suggestion is the way to go. This allows you to define rules at the server level which will process whenever mails are coming in, regardless whether a user is loged into webmail to process a mail rule only at that time.
