This feature is available with Artica version 1.4.101601 If you are under this release you need to upgrade your Artica version. If this version is not released use the How to upgrade Artica to a nightly build ? This feature use "artica-filter" to ... [More] forward Email To Another Email Account in the right way. Why Artica-filter ? Many mail server perform checks between the smtp sender domain and the server that send mails. In the standard way redirected mail are rejected by most of ISP mail services because SMTP server that perform the redirection will not change dynamically the sender domain. For example : mail from: [email protected] to: [email protected] => redirect => mail from: [email protected] to: [email protected] => rejected because your server did not handle hotmail.com Artica-filter is in charge of modify the sender email address in the SMTP transactions but keep the header in the original way. In this case remote server will trust the server because the sender domain is your domain and users will see the original sender address because mail client will display only attributes stored in messages headers.
