This feature will allow all emails sent to your domain name to be forwarded to another domain. For example, setting domain forwarding from yourdomain.com to someotherdomain.com means that any email sent to example@yourdomain.com will be forwarded to example@someotherdomain.com. Once a domain forwarder is added, it will override the default address for the selected domain.
