Email Forwarding

With Dotster's e-mail forwarding service, you will be able to create e-mail addresses for your domains and forward them to any other valid e-mail address. You can also add a "catch-all" address that will forward any mail sent to your domain that does not have a valid e-mail address to an e-mail address of your choice. You must use the name servers:

NS1.NAMERESOLVE.COM
NS2.NAMERESOLVE.COM
NS3.NAMERESOLVE.COM
NS4.NAMERESOLVE.COM


Or have an MX record for your domain that points to m1.dnsix.com, in order to use the e-mail forwarding service.

Price: $10.00 per year per domain
You may forward up to 250 addresses for your domain.

How to order: You can add E-Mail Forwarding to your domains during checkout.
To add E-Mail Forwarding to an existing domain:

  1. Visit "account management".
  2. Click "my domains" and select the domains you'd like to order services for.
  3. Select "add/modify services to these domains" in the task dropdown.
  4. Select "Email Forwarding - $10.00/yr"

Example

We will use the following settings for the example:

Local Address Destination Address

oburseth@yourdomain.com

oburseth@anotherdomain.com

nreaves@yourdomain.com

nreaves@anotherdomain.com

catchall

admin@anotherdomain.com

  • If an e-mail is sent to oburseth@youdomain.com it will be forwarded to oburseth@anotherdomain.com.
  • If an e-mail is sent to nreaves@youdomain.com it will be forwarded to nreaves@anotherdomain.com.
  • If an e-mail is sent to lkajsd@youdomain.com (or any other invalid address at your domain) it will be forwarded to admin@anotherdomain.com.

Note: AOL destination addresses (possibly others) may not accept forwarded e-mail if their mail configuration is not set up correctly. We were able to fix this problem by logging into the AOL account, opening up "Mail Center", clicking on "Mailbox Features", then going into "Mail Controls" and choosing to accept all e-mail delivered to the proper username.
