Forwarding specific incoming messages (e-mail filter example)

You can forward specific incoming e-mail messages based on their headers using e-mail filters.

If you wish to forward incoming messages from a specific e-mail address to another recipient, you need to:

Note: Replace mailboxname@example.com with your e-mail address, and newrecipient@example.com with the e-mail address where the message should be forwarded.

  1. Access the header filters management screen by opening the Settings task in Roundcube or the Options tab in Webmail Classic from the main menu, going to E-mail Filters, and using the Mail Filtering subsection.
  2. Select Forward or Forward and keep a copy (if you want to keep a copy of the forwarded message) from the first drop-down menu.
  3. Select From from the second drop-down menu.
  4. Enter the e-mail address of the sender whose messages you would like to forward in the contains field.
  5. Enter the e-mail address of the new recipient (where the message should be forwarded) in the E-mail field.
  6. Click on the Add button.

The new filter will be listed under the Active Filters list from the Mail Filtering subsection. If your e-mail address is mailboxname@example.com and the e-mail address of the new recipient is newrecipient@example.com, the e-mail filter will be listed as follows:

Action, Field Match String
Forward mail to newrecipient@example.com if from   mailboxname@example.com (delete)
