Changing your Sender/from Email Address to be the Same as your Domain

This article is for users who have their own top-level domain (e.g. yourname.com or yourname.co.uk) and that use the email forwarding service we provide to have a personalized email like [e-mail] or [e-mail].  

Currently when replying to emails sent to [e-mail] or [e-mail], your recipient will see the forwarded email address (e.g. [e-mail]). You can change this so your recipient will see the same address here as the one they sent the email to initially (so [e-mail] or [e-mail]).

With your email client (such as outlook, thunderbird etc.) or third party email (such as gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail etc.), it is possible to change the 'sender/reply-to' address to your website domain name when you send an email to someone. Find the service you use to send emails and follow the instructions:
