E-Mail Aliases and Forwarders

E-mail forwarders and aliases are e-mail addresses such as [email protected] which do not have a username/password as a "POP" account would.

Instead, you would set up [email protected] to forward to a real POP account such as [email protected].

The only real distinction between an alias and a forward, is than an alias will likely forward to another existing account at the same domain, whereas a forward might be sent to another e-mail account with an ISP: such as [email protected] being forwarded to [email protected] or similar.
