E-mail Forwarding
E-mail Forwarding allows you to configure any particular e-mail address at yourdomain.com to automatically forward to another valid Internet address. For example, you might want all e-mail that has been sent to [email protected] to forward to the e-mail address of your company president. Any e-mail addresses that are not explicitly set to forward to another e-mail address or designated as a POP box are handled by the Default E-mail Forwarding Address. See E-mail Basics for more information.

To configure E-mail Forwarding for an address at yourdomain.com, select the E-mail Settings button in your Control Panel. In the Mail Forwarding section, list the address at yourdomain.com you want to forward as well as and the Internet e-mail address to which you would like it to be forwarded to.

For example, if your default forwarding address is [email protected], but you want sales@yourdomain.com to forward to [email protected], your mail forwarding options would look like the following:

All e-mail not specifically forwarded will be sent to:

 
@yourdomain Forwards to:

Important Notes

Do not list addresses that forward to your Default E-mail Forwarding Address. Doing this would be redundant since addresses that are not specifically listed will automatically forward to the Default E-mail Forwarding Address.
Do not create forwarding addresses that forward e-mails back to themselves. This can create e-mail loops which can be extremely wasteful of system resources and cause a loss of mail.
List only one e-mail address in each box. Attempting to forward mail to more than one address (e.g., Forwards to: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) may cause problems. The E-mail Settings interface is NOT configured to handle multiple forwarding addresses.
Do not remove the Default E-Mail Forwarding Address unless you want to retrieve e-mail from the Master POP Account.
