Email forwarding to multiple recipients

Until, recently, out lawn bowls club used a service provided by 123-Reg (our web-site provider), in that an email sent (by anyone) to a specific email address in our club's domain (not sure of the terminology here) would get forwarded to a pre-defined set of club members' email addresses - we have only two sets: all members, and players. Earlier this year 123-Reg pulled the plug on the service, and we are looking for an equally simple alternative.

Any ideas? TIA, Martin

Mailchimp comes to mind.

I find the name pretty funny. LOL

And just to let you know, other hosts may have the feature you're looking for as well. Check out webhostingtalk.com for some ideas...

Sendgrid may be another, but I don't care for the owner company Twilio...

Use meetup .com

Is it easier to use?

Thanks, but something that requires everyone involved to sign up for it is not simple in my view. Ta anyway, Martin

Thanks - considered that some time ago, but the free option only allows one 'seat', so the mailing list would have to be duplicated for each user (sender).

Had a look, a lot of rather old discussions about free hosting that went over my head.

I am minded to create a free domain, and then see what Free Email Forwarding | Forward Email can do (discovered yesterday). If I try their DNS edits on our current domain, I may mess everything up and won't be thanked for it. Anyone recommend a simple to setup free (temporary) domain provider?

I found this:
Forwarding to multiple addresses in Gmail | Producing Paradise

- I've not read it fully, but it sounds like they did what you want.

Thanks - just had a look, and it needs one to verify each email address, to confirm that one 'owns' it - which is not the case for my situation. So All my recipients would have to verify it, and they won't like the bother. But thanks for looking. Martin

Well, I have done some tests: I registered a domain with names.co.uk (free initially, although I had to give my CC details - have to trust them), and signed up with forwardemail.net to control the forwarding. The latter supplied instructions on what to set on the domain DNS setup (all new to me), but in 'next to no time' I had it sorted. As I now have a domain I control (?), I will test it some more, then tell the other users who need to know (secretary etc) how to send emails to all. I don't, and probably never will, have a web page associated with the domain. The name is more 'snappy' than our current web page (so less to type).

As an aside, to test it I had to add my three email addresses to the forwarding list, and necessarily when I send a test message to the list, I send from one of those. Forwardemail sends me an automatic email to warn me that the account I sent from may not see the forwarded email, due to some funny business with "Message-ID" values. It appears this only happens with gmail for me - Outlook.com and mail.com are fine.

So for the moment, question answered! Thanks to all. Martin
