Hi Bob I have had this problem several times over the years with customers wishing to have their mail redirected. The first things to check are the obvious ones (not a sop on your ability but computers make us brain dead at times!) Does his account with the hosting company have any restrictions on the amount of POP3 redirects as many do? Or two with the same address such as admin@ and admin@-redirect? Most host providers use third party email clients and for some unknown reason I have at times simply deleted all the mail accounts on the domain, then refreshed and redone and they have worked? Have you actually tested that mail sent to the domain address can be accessed in the mail box even if not redirected? Finally, it's extremely easy to make a minor miss-spell when doing web work. A water test I always use with these problems is to quickly setup a temp Hotmail or yahoo address and redirect there and see if it arrives. If it does than the problem is with his AOL mail account. If not, its domain side. If you have checked all these Bob then you can't do anymore and it's up to the domain support to sort out as you don't have backend access.

Has anyone encountered problems with AOL mail such as this: A friend of mine has a website for his business and he has a domain. I set it for him so that his domain mail redirects to [email protected] (he doesn't want his mail published here, so I made that name up :-) However, he informs me that mail does not arrive from his domain address, but it does from his ail mail. Am I missing something?
