I'm running GAMADV-XTD3 6.04.12

I'm trying to add a forwarding address for our new CEO to his other company. 

The first command works, the second one does not: 

gam user first.last add forwardingaddress first...@domain.com

first...@economicmodeling.com, Add 1 Forwarding Address


gam user first.last forward on keep first...@domain.com

first...@economicmodeling.com, Forwarding Address: first...@domain.com, Set Failed: Invalid forwarding address


Thoughts?

The new database will be corrupted, and the data will be lost.
No, you put new-format data into new databases."

Dale,

You can't use a forwarding address in another domain until that user has accepted it.
first_last@domain.,com has to accept being the forwardee.
