Hi,
My domain is currently hosted on GoDaddy.com and I don't actually use it to host a website but I do use it to forward emails to a group of 40 or so colleagues.
So, I have Gone to Cpanel > EMail > Forwarders and have entered multiple entries where 'address to forward' is [email protected] and 'destination' is to a colleagues email address ie [email protected]
So, the next forwarder would be 'address to forward' is again [email protected] and 'destination' is [email protected]
And so on until I have 40 entries. Then when anyone sends an email to [email protected] it gets forwarded to all 40 entries ([email protected],com, [email protected] etc etc. etc.)
Anyway, this has been working ok up to about 6 months ago, but now I am getting very intermittent reports of one or two (random) people not receiving emails that have been sent to [email protected]
No error messages, no bounce backs at all. Most of the people get the emails but just occasionally one or two don't. And they are often not the same people.
So, I called GoDaddy and they tell me that forwarders are not designed to be used like this, it is very old technology, and they can't support me. Although they did applaud my ingenuity in using the system in this way! (They did try to sell me an upgrade though to something that would do the same thing but cost me more money.)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be happening, and possibly a work around?
