I'm running GAMADV-XTD3 6.29.21

My email forwarding has started failing today. 

I created the forward just fine: 

gam user privacy create forwardingaddress greg.mccord

User: pri...@emsibg.com, Create 1 Forwarding Address


However, when I try to enable forward on keep, I get an error

gam user privacy forward on keep greg.mccord         

User: pri...@emsibg.com, Forwarding Address: greg....@emsibg.com, Set Failed: Invalid forwarding address

Thoughts?

Dale,

Until the forwardee accepts the forwarding request, you can't forward to it.

Well, thank you. That's something I didn't know. 

Is there a gam workaround where I can programmatically accept that for them? 

best,
Dale

Dale,

No. You can set up Gmail to automatically accept intra-domain forwarding.

Ross, 

This is so weird. Our auto-forwarding was already enabled. I've been using that forwarding script for years now without any issues until now.
