Strange email forwarding

T

Hi all,

I have several domains set up in my environment, every single one has an info@... email account.

My main domain, lets say it's heyho.com, also has that info@heyho.com email. And this one has some aliases (about 15 or so). These get fetched and distributed by a local office server.

Now, I go to the domain blabla.com and I configure the email info@blabla.com to be forwarded to one of the aliases of info@heyho.com, lets say to chicken@heyho.com.

Any email I send to info@blabla.com should now get forwarded to chicken@heyho.com, but instead the mail server sends it to 1-chicken@heyho.com. Which is very strange and annoying.

Anyone with an idea? Help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
 
Hello,

yes this "1"

1-chicken@heyho.com

is internal behaviour of Plesk (or Qmail, I don't remember) but cannot be changed anyhow. Of course, annoying when using M$ Exchange f.e. to sort mail.
 
At least now that I know where it is generated I can investigate further.

Thanks a lot!
