  Hi there,

  If I understand correctly, you’re looking to change the DNS to point lbassistant.com to another provider. It looks like you have email forwarding setup at WordPress.com, and you’re trying to move those email addresses to your new host. Is that correct?

  If so, that will not be possible. When you create an email forwarding address, you create an alias of sorts that just automatically forwards emails to an address you already own. Email forwarding only works at WordPress.com. If you would like to move this email to your new host, you will need to setup a third-party service as explained here:

  Please let me know if I misunderstood your request!
