Mailmaps

A mailmap is an inbound email forwarding feature where users can create an alias (example@yourdomain.com) and have messages sent to said alias get forwarded to a valid third party email address such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc..

However users should note that the job of a mailmap is to forward messages to your destination address ONLY. When responding to these forwarded emails, you will be responding back from the destination address itself and not the mailmap. Since mailmaps have no authentication, there aren’t any credentials you can provide your mail provider for outbound delivery. This is simply an inbound mail forwarding delivery service.

For example, if the destination address you’ve specified is your Gmail address then the sender will see this address when you respond to that message. However some third party email hosts do allow the customization of your response back address, so make sure to check within your settings to see if this is possible.

Users also have the ability to create both a standard mailmap and an easyMail mailmap. There are no major differences between the two other than easyMail mailmaps are only offered with service levels that allow for easyMail service.
