You have a domain. You don't want to host a mailbox for it. You want defined addresses to land in inboxes you already use. The rough edges are real: SPF/DKIM alignment when forwarding, spam filtering before the forward, reliability under load, and a human to reach when something misbehaves.
Email Forwarding is the DuoCircle product for the cases where reliability and authentication actually matter. Same SMTP backbone as the rest of routing, since 2014.
The free and consumer-grade forwarding services exist for a reason. If you have one personal domain and a handful of addresses going to a Gmail inbox, they will probably do the job, until they do not. The failure modes are familiar: silent drops, sudden spam classification at the destination, SPF or DKIM breaking after a vendor change, the operator vanishing without notice, no support channel that responds in business hours.
Email Forwarding is built for the cases where any of those failure modes is unacceptable. Authentication-aware forwarding so the destination sees clean SPF and DKIM. Spam filtering before the forward, not after. Catch-all and multi-recipient routing as first-class features. A real support channel staffed by experts who actually know SMTP. Reasonable pricing because forwarding is plumbing, not a premium product.
The product sits inside the broader Route portfolio alongside Backup MX and Tenant Migration. The same routing engine powers all three. When forwarding is the bridge between a legacy address space and a new tenant, that path is already wired.
Catch-all and per-address forwarding, multi-recipient fan-out, spam filtering before the forward, SPF and DKIM aware delivery, the same SMTP backbone behind the rest of the portfolio, and pricing that matches the actual cost of running the service.
Configure the aliases that should forward and where they should go. Each alias can fan out to up to 5 destinations. No catch-all routing: only addresses you've defined will forward, which keeps your domain from becoming a spam trap and means every forwarded address gets the same authentication and filtering treatment as the rest.
A single inbound address can forward to multiple destination mailboxes. Departmental aliases, contact-form recipients, role-based addresses that fan out to a small team. The routing rule is configurable, the destinations are independent, and a delivery problem at one destination does not silently break the others.
Inbound mail is filtered before it gets relayed onward. You do not want a forwarding pipe to become a spam pipe to your real inbox. We filter first, then forward, so the destination mailbox sees the same filtered stream it would if mail had arrived natively.
Forwarding without breaking authentication is harder than it looks. The forwarder rewrites and re-authenticates so the destination sees a clean SPF and DKIM result, not a borderline message that the receiving mailbox quietly puts in junk. The cheap consumer forwarders skip this step; we do not.
Same SMTP backbone that powers Outbound SMTP, Backup MX, and the rest of the routing portfolio. Reputation, throttling, and retry handled at the platform level. When the destination is having a slow day, we hold and retry; when the destination is healthy, mail moves through promptly without batching artifacts.
Forwarding is plumbing, and we do not price it like a premium product, because it is not one. The pricing matches the cost of running the service. SMB rates are realistic, multi-domain rates are realistic, and there is no per-feature add-on for the parts that should always have been included.

Pricing starts at $99/year for 5 aliases (Lite) and scales to $2,499/year for 75,000 aliases. Per-alias pricing with smooth volume discounts; 9 published tiers between the floor and the cap.
An alias is a distinct email address being forwarded somewhere. sales@yourdomain.com forwarding to email@yourcorp.freshdesk.com is one alias. Each alias can fan out to up to 5 destinations. Aliases (like sales@ or info@) are different from group mailboxes accessed by multiple people — DuoCircle Email Forwarding sells aliases, not group mailboxes.
Yes. Each alias can be configured to forward to up to 5 destinations. For example sales-team@yourdomain.com can fan out to bob@yourdomain.com, jane@yourdomain.com, and rick@yourdomain.com simultaneously.
No. Catch-all forwarding turns the domain into a spam trap. DuoCircle only forwards mail to aliases you have explicitly defined. The deliberate set keeps the domain reputation clean and the spam filtering meaningful.
Yes, risk-free for 14 days. Place an order with a credit card and walk away within 14 days for a full refund, or keep the configuration that works.
Above 75,000 aliases is custom volume — contact sales for a quote. The published catalog tops out at the 75K tier.
If you can use the online checkout, the price you see is the price you pay.
You need full Workspace or M365 mailbox features: sending from the address, calendar, drives, full collaboration. Forwarding is the wrong primitive. Look at Tenant Migration into the platform you actually want.
You specifically need lifetime alumni email at university scale. See Alumni Forwarding, which is the same forwarding architecture priced and packaged for higher-education use cases at lifetime tenure.
You only need consumer-grade forwarding for one personal domain and you are comfortable with the failure modes that come with cheap forwarders. The simpler consumer services may fit your needs at a lower price point. Email Forwarding is built for the cases where reliability, authentication, and a real support channel actually justify the spend.
When you contact us about Email Forwarding, the person on the call is the kind of expert who has actually configured forwarding at scale and debugged the authentication edge cases that the cheap forwarders pretend do not exist. We tell you the costs, the deployment, what your destination mailboxes will see, and what to expect when a vendor changes their includes.
Setup is direct rather than self-serve, because forwarding is the kind of product where getting the routing rules and authentication posture right the first time is worth a short conversation. Reference calls with existing Email Forwarding customers are available on request.
Same-day response. Real expert on the call. We tell you the costs, the deployment, and how the rules will behave once mail is in flight.
