I set up this unique address on my mail server as a forwarder. This is an alias address that forwards to a real email address/account.įor instance, if I am providing an email address to a web site I don’t necessarily trust with my address (will they sell it to a spam list?) I will provide them with a unique alias or forwarding address. One example: I use email forwarding addresses a lot. What do I mean by this? Check out the following examples.
In Apple Mail it is possible to send an email message from a different email address than the one associated with the email account you are using to send/receive through.
