Question How to see all emails being forwarded to a mailbox?

[Bob K.]

Recently switched to Plesk and trying to do something for my clients that they had on the previous h-sphere control panel.
If someone sets up a bunch of forwards between users emails they want to know forwards are coming to a particular address.
For example, if they have 30 employees and 5 of those are setup to forward copies of incoming emails to a supervisors email address, previously in h-sphere they could look at that supervisors address and it said which users it was receiving copies of.

In Plesk the only way can find is to go into every single email address one by one and look at were they are forwarding too which in a large company is ridiculous.

Any way to look at an address and see what is being forward to it from other company addresses?

Thanks.

When talking about "forward settings", one can simply look at the domains and identify the mail forwards per domain per mail address in Plesk Panel.

A faster approach is the following: go to "Tools & Settings > Database servers (click) > click on the button for PhPMyadmin of the localhost database > select database "psa" > search for table "mail_redir" > click on table "mail_redir" " ............ and you will have a rough indication of what is being forwarded to which email addresses.

In order to join the originating domain and email account with the email addresses to which mail is forwarded, one can always write a specific mysql statement.

However, this might not be necessary at all.

After all, when talking about "delivery of mail forwards" (read: are mails actually forwarded), Plesk always forwards mails if they are on the same (physical) server.

In essence, as long as the mail server (Postfix or Qmail) is working and mails are forwarded to a domain hosted on the same server, there is no issue concerning delivery.

Hope the above helps and explains a bit!

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it does not really help just because the client cant see this when they log into their control panel. As a customer logging into their control panel all they can do is go to the Mail settings and accounts and simply looking at that list of email addresses for the domain does not tell what email is coming into an account. With a client with hundreds of email addresses its very hard to tell what is forwarding where. looking at email address email1@xxxx.com does not tell them that they will also receive emails sent to email45@xxxx.com and email 150@xxxx.com as they could do before i moved them to plesk.

Its just an annoyance that i was hoping not to tell clients they just have to live with.
