Custom Domains

By default, your aliases use your E4ward subdomain — something like yourname.e4ward.com. If you own your own domain, you can use it instead.

For example, if you own example.com, your aliases could look like:

shopping@example.com newsletter@example.com x7rkf3jdj@example.com

Custom domains are available on the Standard and Pro plans. Free accounts cannot use custom domains.

Setting up a custom domain

Log in to your domain registrar (wherever you bought your domain) and set your MX records to point to E4ward's mail servers:

relay1.e4ward.com priority 10 relay2.e4ward.com priority 10

Use these hostnames exactly — not IP addresses. Your mail will be distributed across E4ward's servers automatically.

MX record changes can take a few hours to propagate, so there may be a short delay before mail starts arriving.

Go to the Domains page in your E4ward account and add your domain. Once it's verified, you can create aliases using it.

The number of custom domains depends on your plan. See Plans and pricing for details.

Your domain's MX records must point to E4ward's servers for mail to reach your account
Once you point MX records at E4ward, all mail to that domain goes through E4ward — make sure you have forwards set up for addresses you want to receive
You can use a catchall forward to catch mail to any address on your domain
