The term e-mail forwarding describes an e-mail being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address which is not listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends an e-mail from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the message might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer in no way intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for making use of such forwarding. For instance, if you have numerous email addresses you're able to forward all of them to a single email address, which can make keeping track of email messages simpler and allows you to collect emails and respond quickly. The function may also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an email message sent to a general mailbox.
