meaning of "single forward mailuser"

Open quite opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

In source/mail-forwarding.rst it says

A single forward mailuser will work for all mail domains you have setup on your Uberspace.

I don't really understand what this means. Could it mean that if I set up a forward something -> [email protected] then it will forward [email protected] and [email protected], and all other domains that I have registered to [email protected]?

Would be nice if this was clarified

just for your information here: Yes that is correct, there are nor namespaces for mail domains in an Uberspace. That means, all mailusers you have set up (mailboxes or forwards) will work together with all Mail Domains you have set up. That is why we always propose to use a separate Uberspace for each unrelated domain/project/App

For you example, if you have something like mywebsite.com and mywebsite.de, you may want not to differe between both domains. But if you have project1.com and project2.com you should have two Uberspace accounts and then everything is separated.
