Email Forwarding using DNS?

    Under “Domain mapping >> Custom DNS”, the support site writes “If you’ve mapped a domain to your WordPress.com blog, you can use Custom DNS records to make your domain compatible with other services not hosted at WordPress.com, such as an email provider.” Does this mean I can get any email which is sent to [(email visible only to moderators and staff)] and get it forwarded to another account (like a gmail account)?

    If so, how do you do it (I have no idea how to do the whole DNS coding stuff)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I have exactly the same question, I just registered a domain through wordpress and the “DNS” stuff does not talk to me at all.

    I thought once I got a domain it sets up my own domain address as well. Please advise.

    Hello to you two. WordPress.com does not offer email addresses under your domain name. If you don’t have a service provider for that already, you can use Google Apps:
