Change forwarding

Selecting one or more forwarded accounts and clicking on the "change forwarding" option allows you to set up, modify, or turn off domain forwarding for the domains you have selected. Please note that if in your initial selection you include parked or hosted accounts, they will not show up in the list and are not affected by any changes you make with this option; only forwarded accounts are affected.

To set or modify the forwarding address for the selected domains, enter an address in the "set forward to" text box, specify the forwarding type, and click "apply" or "ok". There are two forwarding types to choose form: "frameset" and "htaccess". The difference between the two is as follows:

You can also set a "catchall" email address. Any email which is sent to a domain with a catchall will be automatically forwarded to the address specified.

Example: On yourdomain.com, the catchall email address catchall@someaddress.com (a valid email address that has previously been set up elsewhere) was entered. A visitor to yourdomain.com sends an email to somebody@yourdomain.com. While this is not a valid email address on yourdomain.com, because a catchall email address has been set up, this email is still accepted and forwarded to catchall@someaddress.com. If no catchall had been set up, the email would have been bounced back to the sender, with a "user unknown" error.

To set up a catchall email address, enter a valid email address into the "set catchall email to" text box, and click "apply" or "ok".

Clicking "cancel" ignores any unsaved changes you have made, and returns you to the domain settings main menu.
