Default multiple forwarding address

I have an issue here. The organization I setup Zimbra for needs at least three accounts to automatically forward to personal emails. The problem is that there are only two licenses left. Is it possible to setup one account with multiple aliases, and have each alias forward to a different external address?

Thanks!

You can create an account with multiple aliases, and use the mail filter rules to forward emails based on those addresses. Keep in mind, this may not work so well if anyone BCC's those addresses.

Thanks for your help. This is how I have the filters set:


The first address is the alias, and the second is the personal email it forwards to.

The forwarding works, but here's an issue that just came up.

If I send an email to just one of the aliases, it works fine. However, if I send an email to multiple addresses, then that email is forwarded multiple times. For example, if I sent an email to two people: email1@address.com and forwardedemail@address.com, then the forwarded address will receive it twice since it was sent twice.

Does this make sense? Is there a way to adjust the filter to prevent this?

Thanks!
