Managing a Mail Forwarding service

Once you have bought the Mail Forwarding service for a particular domain name, you will have to specify the destination email address, i.e., the email address to which the emails are to be forwarded. This can be achieved by following the steps mentioned below -

1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name for which you have purchased this service and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
    
2. Click on Manage Service. This will bring up the Manage Mail Forward view, where you would be presented with various options as explained below -
    
   1. Add Forwards - If you have bought the Mail Forwarding service for mydomain.com, then here you can add Forwards like sales@mydomain.com, support@mydomain.com, etc. and specify the destination mail box for each of the Forwards. Thus, you can forward sales@mydomain.com to sales_12@yahoo.com and support@mydomain.com to allsupport_22@hotmail.com and so on.
       
   2. Wild Carded Forward Preferences - Here you can select the fate of emails sent to email addresses other than those for whom Forwards have been created explicitly.
      
      Thus, if you have created Forwards for sales@mydomain.com and support@mydomain.com, then emails sent to all other email addresses on mydomain.com can be either bounced back by selecting the 1st radio button or can be forwarded to some other email address, by selecting the 2nd radio button. In the 2nd option, you can provide email address(es) and/or domain name(s) separated by commas in the destination box.
      
      For example, if the 2nd option is selected and an email address is specified in the destination box, emails sent to any other email addresses on mydomain.com other than sales@mydomain.com and support@mydomain.com will be forwarded to this email address. If a domain name is specified, it will be treated as a Wild Carded Forward. Thus, emails sent to admin@mydomain.com will be forwarded to admin@destinationdomain.com and emails sent to webmaster@mydomain.com will be forwarded to webmaster@destinationdomain.com.
      
      Lets take another example. Suppose you wish to forward all emails sent to any email address on mydomain.com to another email address. In such a case, do not create any Forwards explicitly. Select the Forward all email except the forwards explicitly created to radio button and provide email address(es) and/or domain name(s) separated by commas in the destination box. If an email address is specified, all emails sent to any email address on mydomain.com will be forwarded to this email address. If a domain name is specified, it will be treated as a Wild Carded Forward. Thus, emails sent to user@mydomain.com will be forwarded to user@destinationdomain.com.

Generally, there is no restriction on the number of Forwards created through the Email Forwarding service. However, we may take steps to ensure that the number is not UNREASONABLY high.
