Tips and considerations
- When forwarding emails, make sure to set the "Forward" option to "Always" or "When the sender is in the To or Cc field" to ensure that all emails are forwarded.
- You can also set up forwarding rules based on specific keywords, sender domains, or recipient addresses.
- Forwarding emails can increase the risk of email spoofing and phishing attacks, so make sure to set up proper authentication and security measures to prevent these types of attacks.
- If you're forwarding emails to a different email account or domain, make sure to set up proper authentication and routing to ensure that the emails are delivered correctly.
