Email forwarding is a feature that allows incoming emails sent to one email address to be automatically redirected or "forwarded" to another email address. This can be useful for various purposes, such as consolidating emails from multiple addresses into one inbox, managing multiple accounts, or redirecting emails to another person or department. To create a forwarder, follow the instructions below.

Firstly, login to the Account Manager and select 'Manage Domains & Services'

Next select the domain name you wish to manage.

You can enable as many email forwarders as you need (within reason) under the 'Manage Email Forwarders' link of the Domain Manager.

Email forwarding allows you to configure a specific address at your domain name to forward to an existing email account that you already check.

e.g. jon@mydomain.co.nz redirects to jon@myisp.co.nz

Setting E-Mail Forwarding

Click 'Add Forwarder' and then enter the email address you wish to forward into the Email Address box e.g. jon@domain.co.nz. Then enter the destination address into the 'Forwarding Address' and click update.

Deleting an Email Forwarder

To delete an email forwarder, click the check box next to the email forwarder you wish to remove and click 'Remove Selected'.
