The term e-mail forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address which is not listed as a receiver. For instance, a client sends out an e-mail from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they are concerned, this is the single recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the email might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, even though the customer never intended the email to be sent there and might not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for making use of such forwarding. For instance, if you've got many email addresses you'll be able to forward all of them to a sole email address, which will make monitoring email messages less difficult and allows you to receive e-mails and respond quickly. The function could also be used in case a number of people should receive a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a general mailbox.
