You could use something like an RSS to Email Campaign:

Your site’s feed is here:

https://wwwdotpurnimadotcom.wordpress.com/feed/

In regard to your domain, it looks like it is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

Please go to 1 & 1 INTERNET AG’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:
```
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
```
For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

Let me know if you have any questions!

As far as I can tell, you domain’s name servers at 1 & 1 INTERNET AG are still not pointing towards WordPress.com:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=purnimawomenshealth.com

http://who.is/whois/purnimawomenshealth.com

Also, DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to become fully effective, so after you update your domain’s name servers, hang tight.

If you have additional questions, please let us know.

Thanks for you help and patience. It’s telling me that it’s an invalid host name (

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM…)

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

The correct name server values are:
```
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
```
If you need assistance entering these values, please try contacting your domain’s registrar, 1 & 1 INTERNET AG:

If you have further questions, please let us know.

Thank you-

Hey there, Joy!

Only domains that are mapped with WordPress.com name servers can use WordPress.com email forwarding.

If you are hosting both your domain and your website on non-WordPress.com servers, you’ll now have to set up email hosting or email forwarding through them.

Sorry I can’t help further with that!

If you do have other questions, please let us know! Best of luck with the new site.
