How Do I Set Up Email Forwarding to Gmail Account?

Posted on October 18, 2013

Hi,

I’ve tried many of the answers on the forum here but am not finding anything that works.

I registered my domain name through NameCheap.com and it’s pointed to my droplet. My blog works fine, but now I’m trying to set it up so info@mydomain.com will auto-forward to my gmail address. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I found https://app.improvmx.com/. they provide a free trial to forwarding email to gmail. It works fine for me.

I just tried the NameCheap experiment on one of my domains. Handed control of DNS back to them, set up a forwarder, gave it a while, and sent a test that successfully forwarded to GMail. There’s one downside though: GMail displays the incoming message as coming from:

John Doe via registrar-servers.com

That “via” part is not a very professional appearance - kind of weird and off-putting for recipients. I think I’ll go for the postfix setup after all.
