[feat] keep RCPT when recipient is MX
(following up on #242, which is closed, but I believe that was a misunderstanding, I believe this is also what #249 is trying to achieve)
Scenario: I run a mail server. For a number of reasons, I need them to keep their setup as closely as it is as possible. But I am very unhappy with the current spam filter - and I was looking to use forwardemail mainly as spam filter. Other use cases - from the other referenced issues: Having a fully setup mail server, that has to move to a different port (since getting an open port 25 is an issue with some providers)
So, let's assume on my server there is a mailbox [email protected]
, and my MX is currently set to mx.bar.com
.
If I replace my MX with forwardemails MX, there is no way to have forwardemail direct all mail to mx.bar.com, without the envelope RCPT being rewritten to [email protected] - which is not a valid address on that server.
I would suggest allowing something like mx:mx.bar.com
as value, so forwardemail knows that it should not rewrite the RCPT skip the MX lookup part and forward all traffic to that server.
