Autoresponders

Use autoresponders to send automated responses to people requesting information from your web site, or to automatically reply to messages with a preformatted response.

Global Forwards

Configure your global email forward, also known as a star email forward, to forward all email sent to your domain to a specified email address.

Multiple Forwards

Use multiple email forwards, also known as multiple email aliases, to redirect incoming email to multiple, specified email addresses.

Email to CGI

Use the email to CGI gateway to have incoming email forwarded to a CGI script.
