Setting Email Forwarding Preferences for Domain Names with Privacy
Domains By Proxy® (DBP) creates a unique email address for each domain name with private registration. Click here to see the difference between your email address and the one DBP creates for you.
You can set your DBP account to forward your email without filtering it, filter it for spam and then forward it to you, or not forward it at all. By default, DBP filters spam and forwards email messages to the email address you enter on the Customer Information page.
For information about sending responses to forwarded email messages, see Responding to Forwarded Emails for Domain Names with Privacy.
Updating Email Forwarding Settings for All Domain Names
On the Default Email Preference page, you can set the default email forwarding preference for the domain names in your DBP account, with the exception of any domain names for which you have set individual preferences.
By selecting the reset option, you can override the email forwarding preferences for all domain names in your DBP account, including those for which you have set individual preferences.
To Update Email Forwarding Settings for All Domain Names

If this option displays and you do not select it, then the preference you selected above will apply only to the domain names for which you have not set individual preferences.
