Mail Forwarding

By default, ALL mail is set up to automatically forward to the email address that was provided when your account was set up. This email address is called the "default" mail forwarding address. This address can be changed in Email Settings within your Control Panel. By default, you do not need to set specific forwarding options for specific addresses associated with your domain name. (e.g. webmaster@yourname.com, sales@yourname.com, etc.) as long as you want any and all email addressed to your domain name to go to your default email address.

You can also set up to 10* specific mail forwarding options for email addresses which are to forward to an address other than the default. You can easily do this from your account Control Panel.

The 10 rows are reserved for specific mail forwarding options. For example, if your default forwarding address is at AOL, but you want sales@yourdomain.com to forward to an address at Compuserve, your mail forwarding options would look like so:

All email not specifically forwarded will be sent to:

@yourdomain Forwards to:

*** Important ***
You do NOT need to list the usernames that you wish to forward to the to the default address in the 10 rows. This is actually redundant.


Forwarding E-mail received from an Additional Domain Name (Domain Pointer)

By default, all e-mail addressed to an Additional Domain Name for your account gets forwarded to your default e-mail address for your account. If you wish to have all e-mail addressed to an Additional Domain Name to be forwarded to a specific e-mail address, set up a mail forwarding option as follows:

@yourdomain Forwards to:

In this example, any e-mail addressed to your additional domain, xyz.com, would get forwarded to user@compuserve.com.

If you leave this field blank, all email addressed to your additional domain name will go to uid@rapidsite.net, which is your master pop account.
