Additional features for email?

[peter twartz]

Hi,
Just a sugestion.
Any chance of additional features in wingate email.
It is great and adds significant value to Wingate.
But if only it could auto forward emails from a box to another email address or group of addresses.
It is the difference between me sticking with Wingate Email and going to another email package, which then devalues wingate.

Cheers

PS I'll settle for "it is planned for a later version!" :-)

Indeed, this is a feature that has already been written, but as suggested could be expanded to include a group of emails to forward to rather than just the one.

Hi Neil,

Are you answering in the positive? "It is written and will be included in future versions." I think that is the answer that this gentleman is looking for.

Hi Neil,
Yep, I'm confused by your reply as well. Are you saying:

A) the feature has already been written and is already functional in 5.2.3, I must be going blind :-) and I have missed it completly. Can you give me a clue where to find and configure it?

B) If you are saying that it is written and will be included in a future release.... you know my next question will be.. any idea when?

And maybe just to clarify...
The feature I would like to have, is the ability to auto-forward all mail that arrives in one of my local (wingate hosted) email boxes to one or a group of external email addresses at other domains.

Sorry, to clarify. This feature has been written but not released yet. It works thus: if WinGate receives a mail to bob@mydomain.com (where your locally hosted domain for mail is mydomain.com) you will be able to set a forward for the user bob to forward that email to say bob@home.com automatically. The reason i was saying it could be expanded as at present theres no ability to forward to a group, or mulitple people. This would be fairly easy to add though.

As for a release date, should be in the next couple of weeks (hopefully).

Regards

Neil
