Individual Forwarder
Individual forwarders can be accessed by clicking on the Add Forwarder link, which will bring you to the following screen
From there, you can create your email forwarder fro any domain. You can
#1: Forward the email to another address
#2: Discard the email altogether
#3: Pipe the email to a program. Note:
When piping to a program, you should enter a path relative to your home directory. If the script requires an interpreter such as Perl or PHP, you should omit the /usr/bin/perl or /usr/bin/php portion. Make sure that your script is executable and has the appropriate hashbang at the top of the script. If you do not know how to add the hashbang, just make sure to name your script file with the correct extension and you will be prompted to have the hashbang added automatically.
