The term email forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that's not listed as a receiver. For instance, a client sends out an e-mail from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're involved, this is the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the email might be sent to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer in no way intended the e-mail to be sent there and may not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are various purposes for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've a number of emails it is easy to forward each of them to a one email address, which can make keeping track of emails less difficult and will permit you to get e-mails and respond to them promptly. The function can also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e mail message sent to a standard mailbox.
