| email forwarding
Not every e-mail address has its own
POP3 or Web-based mailbox. Some merely redirect e-mail traffic to another
e-mail address. These P.O. Box-style addresses are called aliases or
e-mail forwarding addresses. Domain hosts or registrars offer them as a
service to people who register domains but don't want to reconfigure their
e-mail software to pick up from another e-mail box--or pay for space on an
e-mail server. |
