The term e-mail forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that is not listed as a receiver. For instance, a customer sends out an email from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, this is the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the message might be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way intended the email to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are various reasons for using such forwarding. For example, if you've a number of emails it is possible to forward each of them to a single mailbox, which will make checking emails easier and will allow you to receive emails and respond to them in a timely manner. The feature could also be used in case a number of people should receive a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a standard mail box.
