For the first time in my life I'm doing all the admin work on my new dedicated server manually, i.e login through SSH.

I can add sites to the system, and users and MySQL Db's but I'm stuck on adding new e-mail addresses and setting up e-mail forwarding. Can anyone help?

Sendmail or Qmail?

Any control panel? Or all on your own?

Sendmail with only Webmin installed.

A simple and easy method with just one main domain is to use aliases

e.g if you want to forward 'myfriend' to 'hithere@hotmail...' put this in /etc/aliases

myfriend____tab____hithere@hotmail...

where ____tab____ is the tab space.

and after doing this, execute 'newaliases' command.

this should start the forwarding.

For creating a POP account, you can just create a system user.

However if you are doing this with Virtual Hosting domains, then that's lots of trouble. You can look here: http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html

Or better change over to qmail as it has better support for virtual hosting/domains.
