Hi folks,
I'm asking about something which Cpanel doesn't do by default (that I can see) but would be a very good feature as far as I am concerned.
For mail hosting at the moment, Cpanel provides two options:
1) Accept the mail on the server and hold for POP/IMAP collection
2) Set the MX record to point somewhere else.
I used to work for an ISP who provided a different form of mail hosting. This option means that mail comes into the server. An attempt is then made to forward the message on to the destination IP address, if this fails it is held for retry. In the case of the provider I worked for, retries would ocurr at fixed intervals or when the customer issued a finger request from the destination IP address.
This has the advantage of putting the messages through spam and antivirus filtering, and also that messages aren't rejected if the customer's ADSL goes down.
So is this option available in CPanel? If not has anyone developed a solution to set this up?
