You're right.

No. Insert proper forwarding address in table "vmail.alias", column 'goto' should be fine. For example:

sql> INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, domain) VALUES ('original@domain.ltd', 'forward@example.com', 'domain.ltd');

I am looking at setting up a second domain in my iRedMail install (this would NOT be an alias domain to the primary domain) as a forward only domain (each email address will forward to whatever the user's real email address is in whatever domain). I'd like to script adding and deleting users and to where there email addresses forward. Presumably, all of this is stored in the database backend. But do I also need to touch something in the file system w. dovecot since the email addresses are forward only (then somehow remove something when deleting)?

thanks.
