To define a new mailbox you first have to fill in the corresponding credentials. You
should have received them from the provider. Then you have to specify the recipient's
address. If you want to define a multi-drop mailbox, you have to leave the username
of the recipient empty or specify the character "*". The recipients domain defaults to
"localhost", so it might not be necessary to enter anything here. By default mails are
forwarded to the mail server of SX-GATE for further processing. You can however
determine a different server.
Directly forwarding emails to a different mail server will bypass
the security features of the SX-GATE mail server. This includes
virusscanning and attachment filtering. All other features like the
SPAM filter are not available as well.

Check for recipient in mail header
To deduce the original recipient of an email retrieved from a multi-drop mailbox, the
email headers are scanned for email addresses with the correct domain. Here you
can select which header will be scanned. The default "Received" is not very reliable,
however it is almost always available. Please check your emails if on of the other
headers give you better results.
With "Received:" also the following headers will be checked
in the listed order: "Resent-To:", "Resent-Cc:", "Resent-Bcc:",
"To:", "Cc:", "Bcc:" and "Apparently-To:". The first one of these
headers with a matching email address will be used.
Number of headers to skip
Usually always the first occurrence of a header is checked. If every mail contains the
requested header multiple times and the first occurrence does not provide the correct
value, you can determine how many of these headers have to be be ignored.
Prefix to remove from recipient name
Some POP servers supply the original recipient address in one of the headers, but
prefix it with a certain string. Enter this string here to have SX-GATE remove it
automatically. So the mail will be delivered to the correct recipient.
