Hi,

 Just want to say first that this instructions are very detailed and very useful. I followed every step and was able to make my server up and running in no time. thanks for the contributors and administrators of this site.

 My mail server is already up and running but just want to know how I could forward an email to another outside email address. Say, I have a local email address of [email protected] and I wan't to forward it to [email protected]

Could anyone help me on this small issue.

 Thanks in advance.

You have to in phpLDAP manager add attr. called "mailForwardingAddress" in [email protected] configuration and set there [email protected]

Save and test ;)

before downloading the iredmail archive, you should install bzip2.

A clean debian installation does not include this package.

apt-get install bzip2
