How to Set Up Email Forwarder

Forwarder uses no disk space — just redirects. Mailbox stores email on the server, you connect via IMAP/POP. Use forwarder for reading in an existing inbox (Gmail). Use mailbox for separate professional accounts.

They magnify spam — spammers blast random addresses (asd@yourdomain.com), all of which forward to you. Use catch-all only on hardened domains with strong spam filtering, or avoid and create specific forwarders.

An email forwarder redirects messages from one address to another — you cannot send messages FROM the forwarder address. An email alias is an alternative name for an existing email account — you can both receive and send with the alias address. If you only need to receive messages on another account, a forwarder is enough. If you also want to send from that address (e.g. info@yourcompany.com), you will need an email account or an alias.
