[Feat Req] Email forward with no mailbox

[Chewza]

Is it possible to modify the email forwarder process to not include a mailbox to be created first?
It seems counter-intuitive to be required to create a mailbox, then go back and forward the mail from that mailbox to another account.

It's nothing that's critical to the functionality of the system, however for end users coming from other control panels, it's a little cumbersome to try and figure out.

Isn't this just the 'Alias' feature?

[Chewza]

No, the alias feature requires a mailbox to be available locally.
I'm trying to forward mail from a domain on Sentora to Gmail without creating a mailbox on the server first.
I've gotten around the issue by creating distribution lists with 1 user in them which don't require a mailbox to be configured, however it seems counterintuitive to set it up that way.

True... so mainly to setup forwarding to external emails instead of internal emails. Postfix support it.
