I have a website hosted in a shared hosting account and it contains a DirectAdmin (DA) control panel. From there, I can see some email forwarding entries.
I would like to migrate the email
server to the Google App's, I am going to change the MX records to point to Google email
server in the DA. For the existing email accounts that I see in the DA, I will re-create them in the Google App.
But for those email forwarding entries, I am confused. If I keep them there, will they still work after I have changed the MX record pointing to the Google email server? If not, this means I will need to re-create them in the Google App, right?
Unfortunately, Google App (Free edition) does not seem to allow email forwarding like those in DA. Unless I choose to use other editons (http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=175745).
In DA, when I have created an email forwarding entry such as
[email protected] -
[email protected], I do not really need to create a dummy
[email protected] email account and DA will still do the forwarding properly.
The best I can do now, without upgrading the Google App
edition, is to simply create dummy email accounts in the Google App and setup forwarding inside that email account, is this correct?
