Message routing can be used to 'kill' a message or route a message to another address. The routings will be checked against all incoming messages. FTGate tests each routing in order, the first matching route will be applied to the message.
To create a routing to "Kill" a message, follow these steps:
Enter an address in either the To: and/or the From: field
Leave the route field blank.
Press the 'Create routing' button.
The routing will now be shown in the list of defined routings. An example of a routing being used to kill a message to an address is below:
|
From: |
To: |
Route: |
|
* |
user@ftgate.com |
blank |
The above routing would 'Kill' (bounce) all messages sent to the email address user@ftgate.com
An example of a routing to re-route a message on the TO: field, is below:
|
From: |
To: |
Route: |
|
* |
user@ftgate.com |
user2@ftgate.com |
The above routing would route messages sent to user@ftgate.com to user2@ftgate.com
An example of a routing to re-route a message on the From: field is below:
|
From: |
To: |
Route: |
|
user@ftgate.com |
* |
user2@ftgate.com |
The above routing would route all messages sent from user@ftgate.com to user2@ftgate.com
To delete a routing, select it in the list and press the 'Remove this routing' button. The selected routing will be removed from the list.
To promote a routing (move it up in order of priority), select it and press the 'Promote selected routing' button. This will move the selected routing up one place for each click. The higher up in the list a routing is, the sooner it will be tested against incoming messages.
To demote a routing (move it down in order of priority) select it and press the 'Demote selected routing' button. This will move the selected routing down one place for each click. The lower down in the list a routing is, the later it will be tested against incoming messages.
If no matches are found the message will be routed as per the envelope information of the message.
