The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address which isn't listed as a receiver. For example, a customer sends an email from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're involved, this is the only recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the email might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way meant the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware of the presence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've got numerous emails it is possible to forward each of them to a sole mailbox, which can make monitoring email messages easier and will permit you to collect emails and respond to them timely. The function can also be used if a number of individuals should receive a copy of an email message delivered to a general mailbox.

The option can be activated whenever you make a new email address or at any time later and disabled just as easily any time you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you can manage your account. Additionally, you will have the option to choose if a copy of the inbound emails will remain on our servers or not. The advantage of this feature is basically that you will always have a copy on your end if something occurs with the other email address or if it's not active for some reason at the time an e-mail message is forwarded. If the feature not active, a message will be received, forwarded and deleted from our system regardless of whether the remote e-mail is functioning or not, so it generally is a wise decision to have it enabled just to be prepared.
