A forwarder is important when you want a copy of an email to be sent to another e-mail address upon receipt. To create e-mail forwarder’s, please do the following:

1. Login to Varsys Client Portal
2. In "My Services", click "Details" icon next to a hosting account.
3. Click on Control Panel button.
4. Click on the "Forwarders" icon.
5. Click on "Add Forwarder."
6. In the first box, provide the beginning extension for the email address you wish to set up to forward email from.
7. In the drop down menu to the right of the “@” sign, select a domain for which the email address is associated with.
8. Next, you must choose the destination of the new forwarding email.
9. Select "Forward to an email address" option
10. Click "Add Forwarder".

You have now just created a forwarder. When someone sends you and email to the email address specified a copy will also be sent to the email address provided. Please be aware, It will leave a copy of the email on the sever as well. This means that eventually, the email box will fill and will stop forwarding messages.

To avoid this issue, you can create a forwarder for an email box that currently does not exist. If you do this, there will be no email box for a copy of the message to be saved in before the message is forwarded off of the server.
