Domain email forwarding<\/p>

Email forwarding sends mail at your domain to an inbox you already use<\/h2>

It is useful when you want a memorable domain address without another inbox. Forwarding receives and redirects messages, but it is not a mailbox and does not by itself provide authenticated sending.<\/p>
