Email forwarding lets you receive messages sent to a custom domain address (like [email protected]) in your existing email inbox. This free feature comes with all Squarespace-managed domains.

Key Benefits:

• Create up to 100 email aliases
• Free with Squarespace domains
• Forward to any compatible email address
• Takes 24-48 hours to activate

Requirements:

• Domain must be managed by Squarespace
• Domain cannot have existing custom email
• Domain must use ASCII characters only
• Recipient email cannot use DKIM protocol

Supported Email Recipients: Most email providers work except:

• aol.com
• centurylink.net
• icloud.com
• mac.com
• me.com
• squarespace.com
• yahoo.com

4. Click Add a rule
5. Enter alias (before @yourdomain.com)
6. Enter destination email address
7. Click Save
8. Verify via confirmation email

Managing Forwards:

• Edit: Access Email forwarding section and click Edit
