As you can see in the image below, a new email alias admin@oblongdomains.com has been created, any emails sent to this address will be forwarded onto the corresponding destination email address on the right hand side (info@oblongdomains.com). A global email redirection is in place (also called a "Catch-All" address), you can see this in the blank 'eMail address' form field in the image below. This directs any mail (which doesn't match an existing mail alias) to bob@oblongdomains.com. So, an email sent to "mrform@oblongdomains.com" will be directed to the specific email address defined for the alias 'mrform' (info@oblongdomains.com in this example), but any other emails (sent to 'john@oblongdomains.com' or 'billy@oblongdomains.com' for example) will be forwarded onto the catch-all address 'bob@oblongdomains.com'.
You can also use "Prefix-Maintaining-Redirection" with email forwarding. You can implement this by inserting the following prefix to your destination email address: When your email is forwarded using Prefix-Maintaining-Redirection, the name which precedes the host/domain name of the sent email is used to precede the host/domain name of the destination address. So, if an email was sent to john@yourdomain.dot and Prefix-Maintaining-Redirection was in place, the email would be forwarded to john@destination-domain.dot. To implement Prefix-Maintaining-Redirection, make an entry in your email forwarding table which includes "%1@destination-domain.dot" in the right hand side "Destination" section column. Leave the left hand side "eMail address" section blank and within two hours Prefix-Maintaining-Redirection will be working for your domain. | ||||||||||
