Rerouting mail using pattern filters

Custom Pattern Filters can be used to redirect mail to another mail server, while preserving the message properties (such as Envelope To and Deliver To). This feature is similar to the redirect actions and reroute mail routes used in Archiving and External Encryption to redirect mail to an archiving or encryption server.

In your mail routing configuration (configured in Configuration > Mail > Routing ), create a mail route that begins with a “.” period character, (such as

.mail_reroute

) and enter the destination mail server as the address for your mail route.

When creating a custom Pattern Filter, set the Action to Redirect To , and in the Action Data field, enter the name of the corresponding mail route. For example: mail_reroute

.

When a pattern filter is triggered, it will reroute the message to the corresponding mail server.
