Re:Email Forwarding Is Bad: Why you should never forward email

What I'm getting at is this: If you forward an email from y our personal domain to another provider, every email you get that is spam is re-sent to the forwarded address, and that provider will see your FROM address as being the source of the spam, and it will cause mail deliverability issues for forwarded mail. I've seen it over, and over, and over again. That's why I wrote it.

When I forward, I don’t change the FROM address, I keep it intact.
It’s not a literal email forward with “FWD:” in the subject line.
It just replaces the To: and sends it to the new address.
Maybe you have your forwarding set up incorrectly, but with the forwarding I set up through cpanel, this isn’t an issue.
This is one of the funny things about the email spec is that the FROM field can be set to anything, so it’s really handy for forwarding.
