After incoming messages are processed, they are delivered to the destinations configured in Incoming > Destinations - this is typically the final mail server for the recipient. Delivery is attempted to each of the destinations, from the lowest priority to the highest (as with MX records). Destinations with identical property values are attempted in random order and do NOT have deliveries spread across them.
The Destination Routes you set up when adding a domain are listed here automatically but you can also add any manually.
In this page you can:
- Add, edit and delete destinations
- Perform a connection check
- Perform a catch-all check - Discover whether the destination mail server is a 'catch-all' for a specified domain (accepting mail for any address at that domain)
- Check Routes for Open Relays
- Carry out a Telnet test for a route by clicking on
alongside the route.
