9. Mail Manager forwarding restriction

You can use mail manager to set up mailboxes, create aliases (box1 sends directly to box2), and even forward mail off our server to be received somewhere else (like box@aol.com).

But there is one important exception:

Using mail manager, you can set up the following:

box1 ---> box1
box1 ---> box1, box2 (both boxes get a copy)
box1 ---> box2

box1 ---> box@aol.com
box1 ---> box1, box@aol.com
box1 ---> box1, box2, box@aol.com

BUT YOU CANNOT SETUP:

box1 --> box2, box@aol.com

because box2 will never get its mail **in this case only**
unless there is a real box1.
___________________________________
In addition, you can't do this:

box1 -->box2 ---> box3

You have to do this:

box1 --> box2, box3
