Redirection mail ovh

OVH!

To set up redirection of mail (email) on OVH, you can follow these steps:

Using the OVH Control Panel

  1. Log in to your OVH Control Panel.
  2. Go to the "Mail" section.
  3. Click on "Redirection" in the top menu.
  4. Select the domain for which you want to set up redirection.
  5. Choose the type of redirection you want:
    • "Permanent" (301) for a permanent redirect.
    • "Temporary" (302) for a temporary redirect.
  6. Enter the destination email address (the address where you want to redirect the mail).
  7. Click "Save" to save the changes.

Using DNS records

Alternatively, you can set up mail redirection using DNS records. This method is more advanced and requires some technical knowledge.

  1. Create a new DNS record with the following settings:
    • Type: MX
    • Priority: 0
    • Target: the IP address of the mail server you want to redirect to (e.g., 1.2.3.4)
  2. Create another DNS record with the following settings:
    • Type: CNAME
    • Target: the hostname of the mail server you want to redirect to (e.g., mail.example.com)
  3. Update your DNS records to point to the new mail server.

Using a third-party service

If you don't want to use OVH's built-in redirection feature or DNS records, you can use a third-party service like ForwardMX or Mailgun to redirect your mail.

  1. Sign up for a third-party service.
  2. Configure the service to redirect your mail to the desired destination.

Remember to update your DNS records or use the OVH Control Panel to propagate the changes. It may take some time for the changes to take effect.
