Forwarder hints & tips

Do I need to create a full email account for each address I want to forward?

No. If your domain is mydomain.com and you want to forward email from sales@mydomain.com to john.smith@somewhere.com then you don't need to create a mailbox for sales@mydomain.com.

Simply select mydomain.com from the dropdown list when Adding a Forwarder and then type sales in the Address to Forward box and john.smith@somewhere.com in the Forward to Email Address box.

Can I forward email for an existing mailbox?

Yes. All that will happen is that a copy of the incoming message will be left in the original mailbox inbox, and another copy will be forwarded to any forwarding addresses that are configured.

What if I want to forward an email address to multiple destinations?

Just create multiple forwarders - one for each destination email address.
