Email forwarding in iRedMail having only Open-Source iRedAdmin Panel
ZPanel has a graphical admin interface which enables email administrators to easily setup email forwarding per user and per domain. However, the open-source community version of iRedAdmin panel interface does not contain this same capability. Only the iRedAdmin Pro version enables administrators to setup email forwarding.
iRedMail and ZPanel each utilize the Postfix email service. Consequently, if both use a MySql database as their back-end to store user email configurations, then each of their MySql database table structures will be quite similar. Certain fields of the database tables may be a bit dissimilar.
In order to manually configure an email address to forward all received email (and leave a copy of the email on the server) you must use PhpMyAdmin to edit email box records within the ‘goto’ field of the ‘alias’ table of the ‘vmail’ database.
Example — Before Editing the Record:
address field value — user@maildomain.com
goto field value — user@maildomain.com
Example — After Editing the Record to Provide Forwarding:
address field value — user@maildomain.com
goto field value — user@fwd-domain.com,user@maildomain.com
Notice that the email address where you will forward the email is inserted as the first address in the ‘goto’ field, followed by a comma, and followed by the original email box address. This configuration keeps each received email in the original mailbox (user@maildomain.com) on the server and forwards a copy of it to the forwarding email address (user@fwd-domain.com).

Conect to Ubuntu via Windows Remote Desktop Protocol
Install xRDP on Ubuntu 12.04
Open a terminal window CTRL+ALT+T
sudo apt-get install xrdp (enter)

After installing xRDP, make sure Ubuntu xRDP is listening on Tcp Port 3389. Somehow it proxies to 5210. Enter this at the terminal:
netstat -an | grep “LISTEN ” | grep “:3389”
Make sure that your router is port forwarding TCP port 3389 to the lan IP of your Ubuntu.
From Windows 7, click Start, Programs, Accessories, and select Remote Desktop Connection. Enter the router public IP or fully qualified Hostname.DomainName.com of your Ubuntu server. No username or password is necessary at this point. Click connect.
You should go past the windows warning to allow desktop connection.
At the Screen that says Login to xrdp, Make sure the module in the dropdown list is sesman-Xvnc. Enter your username or root, enter your password, and click OK.
You should connect.
If you only achieve a desktop background, without side or top Ubuntu desktop menu items, then you may need to install Ubuntu gnome session fallback or somehow make 2d the default for xRDP connections rather than Unity 3d.
So, if you have a problem connecting, run the commands below and restart Ubuntu, and try connecting again.
echo “gnome-session –session=ubuntu-2d” > ~/.xsession
Or install gnome session fallback.
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

Open TCP Port 3389 on Ubuntu Firewall for Remote Desktop Connection
Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run this command (root privileges is required):
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 –dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
Replace 3389 with the port you want to open.
How do you close the ports?
Simply replace ACCEPT with DROP as follows:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 –dport 3389 -j DROP

Setting password for the ‘root’ user in Ubuntu
Open a terminal window in Ubuntu:
Log in as your username and enter your password when requested.
Switch to super user root, as follows:
sudo -s (enter)
the result is:
root@yourhostname
Now set-up a password for the administrative user named ‘root’ as follows:
passwd
(enter password twice as requested)
Setting Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in Ubuntu
In Ubuntu, open a terminal window. Log into terminal as your username. Enter your password when requested. Switch to the root super user as follows:
sudo -s (enter)
input your password when requested (enter)
Change to the /etc directory as follows:
cd /etc
The ‘hostname’ file will contain your short hostname, such as mx1.
Check the current hostname by entering the hostname command, and the hostname might be something like ‘mx1’ — as follows:
hostname (enter)
mx1
Your fully qualified domain hostname should be something like mx1.yourdomain.com. Check the current FQDN hostname with the -f option, as follows:
hostname -f (enter)
mx1
The ‘hosts’ file should be edited to insert your FQDN as well. Using the PICO text editor, open the hosts file to be edited as follows:
pico hosts (enter)
Change the second line of the hosts file from this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mx1
To this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mx1.yourdomain.com mx1
Then save the hosts file as follows:
CTRL+X
(y)es
hosts (enter)
Now check the fully qualified domain hostname, as follows:
hostname -f (enter)
mx1.yourdomain.com
Check the hostname, which should still be ‘mx1’
hostnamemx1
Escape from the terminal window:
Exit (enter)
Exit (enter)
