DNSExit Email Forwarding
The company lists Cincinnati, Ohio as its headquarters at 8190-A Beechmont Ave, Suite 278.
What it is
DNSExit Email Forwarding creates addresses at a custom domain and routes incoming messages to an existing inbox, such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or another mailbox. You can direct separate addresses for sales, support, or billing to different people without setting up separate mailboxes. A catch-all rule can forward all mail sent to the domain to one inbox, including messages sent to misspelled or newly created addresses. The service forwards incoming mail; its product page does not describe sending mail from the domain. Mailbox hosting is not required. To use the service, the domain must use DNSExit DNS so it can apply the required MX settings. Setup involves pointing the domain to DNSExit DNS, opening it in the dashboard's DNS manager, and adding addresses and destinations under MX Settings; DNSExit describes this as taking under five minutes. The free plan applies to domains registered through DNSExit. Paid packs are billed annually, starting at USD $6.99 per year for five forwarding addresses. Domains registered elsewhere add USD $4.00/year to the pack price.
