alternate domains and addresses

because ~ben hoards domain names, you can use any of the below domains with your tildemail:

mail sent to yourusername@ any of those domains will end up in your inbox. most clients will allow you to add additional identities/aliases.

additionally, any address with a + and arbitrary text behind it will be forwarded to your email: ie. yourusername+somethingcool@tildeteam.org. plus-addresses are very useful for filtering mail.

forwarding and sieve

if you would like your tildemail to be forwarded somewhere else, put that email address in a file called ~/.forward

echo myotheraddress@example.com > ~/.forward

we also have sieve and managesieve support.

scripts belong in ~/sieve/, with the active sieve script named ~/.dovecot.sieve (to conform with managesieve).

here are some example sieve scripts

managesieve is available on the default port (4190) if you want to use an external managesieve client (like the thunderbird add-on).

our webmail is pre-configured to manage your sieve scripts.
