Mail account can forward all incoming correspondence to a specified e-mail address. To enable the forward feature for a particular mail account, request packet should contain the forwarding node within the mailname parent node.

The forwarding node does not have a special data type, it is defined within the parent node as follows:

• The enabled node is required. It enables the redirect feature for a particular mail account. Data type: boolean. Default value: false.
• The address node is optional. It holds an email address to which the correspondence will be redirected. Data type: string.

The following sample packet creates a mail account, and makes it redirect all incoming messages to techdept@example.com:

<packet>
    <mail>
        <create>
            <filter>
                <site-id>12</site-id>
                <mailname>
                    <name>bfischer</name>
                    <forwarding>
                        <enabled>true</enabled>
                        <address>techdept@example.com</address>
                    </forwarding>
                </mailname>
            </filter>
        </create>
    </mail>
</packet>
