Domain pointers & email forwarders

[gasoline]

I'v searched the forum but can't find the solution.

Intro
Set up domain A.ext and add other domains in that account with domain pointers. B.ext and C.ext. Now if you go to A.ext or B.ext or C.ext you will see the same domain.

That's not the problem. I understand that if I make a emailaddress f.e. [email protected] also email [email protected] & [email protected] will be delivered to [email protected].

What I want!
I want to make forwarders (say [email protected] and [email protected]) that are directed to outside emailaddresses. F.e. [email protected]. But this is not possible. I only can make FORWARDERS with a.ext. The domain I have setup the account with. That's very annoying. It can be done in cpanel. But I prefer DA.

Does anybody understand what I'v typed? And do you have a solution?

I'm not sure of the problem.

Are you saying that forwarders set for [email protected] won't work for email sent to [email protected], or that you only want [email protected] to be forwarded?

No. exactly the other way round (is that good English??)

What I mean is:

I have added (as domain pointers) domain b.ext and c.ext to a.ext.

I now can only make emailadressen like [email protected]. However emails send to [email protected] and [email protected] will arrive at [email protected]. Don't loose me here will you

What I want is to make forwarders for b and c. So f.e. [email protected] >>> [email protected]
However that is not possible. Or am I missing something?

Sorry, but I'm not native English so that's probably why I explain it a little bit complicated.

Close enough . Probably 'round or around, since around is the proper word and 'round would be the contraction.

But hey, it works ;; and it's great for a non-native-english speaker.

If you set up as an alias any email name or forwarder you create for one domain will work for the other. I'm not sure what happens if you don't check alias.

But if you want [email protected] to work but [email protected] to not work, then you have to set up the two domains as entirely separate domains, and use a redirect in an .htaccess file to do the redirection for the http stuff.

Ah ha!

So emails and forwarders work the same way. Didn't know that. Tested it and it worked fine.

But I should make a htaccess fix or something like that for what I want. And that's way to complicated. What I want would be nice to see as e feature in new versions of DA.

I want to make forwarders -from domainpointers domains- like (that's possible in cPanel):

So I made account with A and added domains as domainpointers under it (B and C)

info@a >>> myname@hotmail
info@b >>> myname@gmail
info@c >>> [email protected]

If that could be done it would be very nice.

Hopefully it is clear now what exactly is my "problem".

I believe the only way to do what you want with DA is to create the new domain, use a manual redirect in an .htaccess file for the domain, and manage the mail in the new domain.
