The AUP requires you collect mail for postmaster, so that may be
a good enough reason for blocking your attempt to redirect it.

Why not redirect 'user' to postmaster, or (depending on your
mail client) collect mail from both mail addresses. Peter M

I would be interested in hearing a solution to this also. I was a victim
of
the virus that sent approx 100 emails a day to my Plus Net postmaster
account. I have now set up fresh mail boxes but still continue to check
postmaster through mailwasher.

Last time I looked at the redirect facility (ages ago) you could not
redirect an existing mailbox. All that you could do was to set up a new
mailbox and define it to redirect.

If I am wrong then I would like to know how to redirect (and chnge the
destination) on any mailbox not just the default one.

Hi Guys,

In order to create a redirect for any alias, you just need to delete
an existing mailbox that is using that alias and create a redirect
instead.

We are looking at building functionality specifically to allow the
re-directing or blackholing of mail which arrives in the default
mailbox, but this isn't available yet. You can get round this by
creating individual mailboxes and a specific postmaster mailbox. You
can then safely delete mail from the default mailbox periodically
without having to bother too much with it. Remember also, if there are
any specific aliases you do not want to receive mail to, you can
create a re-direct to

Does that all make sense?

For a general explanation of how mailboxes work, see

Regards,

Ian

I'm sure I asked this question of plusnet, I totally agree with you and
would most likley miss any important email sent to postmaster (or should I
say anything that isn't a mailbox). You can however specify a mailbox as
well to send all account etc mail to.

Even if you could isolate [email protected] from [email protected] it would be nice.

I will hunt around and let you know, I suggest you take a look in
plusnet.feedback.customer-support or whatever its called, Ian (mainly) and
the other cs people will answer in there
