Forwarding and Redirect Explained

Forwarding and redirect are methods used to automatically deliver incoming emails to another email address. They are commonly used to centralize incoming messages, receive verification codes, and avoid direct access to the original mailbox.

These methods help reduce unnecessary logins, improve operational security, and keep all important emails in one place.

Forwarding

Forwarding sends emails in a standard forwarded format.

• The email includes the FW: prefix

• The original sender is preserved and shown

• The message appears as forwarded, not as originally received

Forwarding is useful when you want to clearly see that an email was forwarded and keep the original message context visible.

Redirect

Redirect sends emails without the FW: prefix and without marking the message as forwarded.

• The email appears as if it was received directly

• There is no visible indication that it was forwarded

• The original sender is preserved silently

Redirect is commonly used when emails need to look natural and unmodified, such as verification or system messages.

Why Forwarding or Redirect Is Used

Forwarding and redirect are used to:

• receive important emails without logging into the original mailbox

• collect verification codes and system messages in one place

• reduce security risks caused by frequent logins

• simplify email handling and automation

Master Email Requirement

To set up forwarding or redirect, we request master email address(es).

These master emails are the destination addresses where all incoming emails will be delivered. Forwarding or redirect is configured to send messages only to the provided master emails.

This setup ensures:

• controlled and predictable delivery

• no access for third parties

• centralized and secure email handling
