Question Regarding Email Forwarders

[esr]

I have set up an email forwarder and pointed it to my autoresponder with a different host. So, ideally, it should go like this:

 

Person sends email to myforwarder@my domain.com

 

My forwarder sends their email to myautoresponder@differenthost.com

 

My autoresponder responds to the person who sent the first email.

 

However, every time I test this, I never receive the response from the autoresponder. I know the autoresponder works because I have tested it by sending an email to it directly.

 

Then it hit me. Maybe I should find out if email forwarders work with autoresponders. And, if they do, why isn't mine working?

 

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums Kim

 

Email forwards look like the email went to the address directly. The mail transport just routes the mail where ever the forward is pointed too.

 

You don't say where the autoresponder is. Could be the forward is never getting there. You cannot forward to AOL, Comcast or Yahoo accounts.

Hi Guys,

 

The autoresponder is ****@info.trafficwave.net

 

So, you're saying it SHOULD work, right? If so, perhaps it's the autoresponder..........

Yes, it should work. But why don't you just set up the autoresponder in your TCH account?

I need automatic follow ups.

 

Thanks for your help. I sure appreciate it.
