Email domain forwarding

Please use caution when setting up this feature

Note: An email domain forwarder redirects all email from one domain to another in one single redirect. For example, if we set up an email domain forwarder to redirect all emails from example.com to example.net emails would be forwarded to the corresponding users. An example of this would be [email protected] would redirect to [email protected].  

  1. To set up an email domain forwarder for one email account select the domain under Managing and click Add Domain Forwarder
  2. Select the domain you wish to forward, enter the domain you wish to forward to, then click Add Domain Forwarder.
