    Email settings > Mailing Lists doesn't hint that it can be used for "Forwarding" much easier than by installing SoGo and finding the mail Sieve settings for Forwarding there after a user is created, logging in as that user and making the setting.

    Adding a whole forwarding page configurator would be great with both options, but that's a bigger ask.

    Otherwise it's hidden in the docs and much less obvious.

    Thoughts?

      Not tried but doesn't "Mailing Lists" forwarding only work for emails that aren't already a Mailbox or Alias?

      Whereas Sieve would be forwarding for an actual Mailbox and its Aliases?

        not exactly, as even mailing list have a mailbox, so if you try to make one, it's already taken.

            me too, felt stupid not noticing.
            then having to go impersonate a user just to set up sieve, ugh.

              Note that this is because the "name" is unique across mailboxes, lists and aliases. Not because mailing list has a mailbox. A mailing list is just a forwarding list, it does not have a storage location like a mailbox.

              In practice, the main difference between a single email mailing list and sieve forwarding is that with the latter a copy of the mail can be kept in the mailbox (of course, you can setup a sieve rule to delete the mail immediately after forwarding). With an email list, it will forward and that's it. It's not saved anywhere on the server.
