Sandy ignores email forwarded to her

Isn't it easier to make a contact for Sandy. I now only have to type San<tab> and the rest is done by the email client.

Hope this helps.</tab>

You do make a good point pstuifzand, that would certainly be an easy way to avoid typing the whole address.

However, by using his own domain, he can avoid the potential discomfort that other people have mentioned by having "iwantsandy" showing up in their business emails.

He is also provided the opportunity to refer to Sandy as Jane, Janet, Joe, or Bob; at least in the address of the email.

I don't know if either of those ideas were even in his mind when he asked the question, but it remains a nice option for those of us who have our own domains, and would like to take advantage of those fringe benefits.

As an update, I've gotten mixed results with having '>' inside my emails.

Don't have anything definate yet.

I'm very new to this, so I could be wrong, but perhaps Sandy is ignoring the forwarded messages because they don't begin with a "Remember" or "Remind" or "R". I've sent her some messages where I've forgotten to include one of those and I simply don't hear back from her. I would imagine the same would happen with forwarded messages.

...as a follow-up, I think Sandy should be changed to assume that she should remember a message if there are no other keywords in the message telling her to do something else.

Well, I wasn't sure if the emails had to begin with one of the 'R' words or not, though I didn't think so. I went ahead and sent her an email that began with some random text, but included ">r me in 1 minute" in the body of it. Because she parses the email, she found it and responded accordingly.

However, I suddenly thought about the fact that some forwarding software doesn't keep the original message in the body of the forwarded email, but rather includes it as an attachment. I haven't tested that yet, but I have doubts that she would parse attachments.

Assuming she doesn't, that seems to be the most likely cause of the failure in this case.

It would be great if the original poster or support staff would see if that is what is going on and let us know! :)

DavidU, I think that having her default to remembering is a great suggestion!

Thanks everybody for your answers.

The biggest reason I have for wanting to make Sandy a forwarding address is that I access my mail from a great variety of different PCs at home, work, and on the road, so adding her to a half dozen address books is cumbersome, especially when I need to access mail from an unfamiliar machine, which happens often. Also, as Azianflu inferred, I would like to avoid having the words "I Want Sandy" appearing in my workplace CC: line.

My forwarder is working at the domain level rather than on the individual message, so >'s and ---'s aren't the problem; it doesn't look like the mail has been forwarded from a mail client. The way it works is that mail sent to sandy@mydomain just gets quietly rerouted and ends up at her inbox instead, completely unchanged, and that may be the problem, because Sandy's original address isn't in the To: line of the header. It is in the Envelope-To: line.

I'm having this problem as well. The delivery report I got (for sandy@beebo.org forwarding to remindme@beebo.iwantsandy.com) is:

I am also having this problem. I posted here before but hadn't signed in and am not sure if the post went through after I created a username. Anyway, I would like to use both because I like the daily display Sandy has but the Jott phone thing is really useful...

PS I am using the correct Sandy verbiage and clicked the Jott okay on the Sandy site.

I've got Sandy working successfully at sandy@mydomain.com.

The only trick is that you have to let sandy know that you're talking to her when you're not sending to your xxxx@xxxxx.iwantsandy.com address. ie:

Sandy, remind me to smile in 1 minute
