  I set up an email forward from my blog domain to my gmail account and got confirmation, but it isn’t working.

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

  Do you receive a automated message back when sending an e-mail? and have you tried sending the e-mail from a different e-mail client?

  Let me know how that goes.

  I did not receive a bounceback when I was trying to test through my gmail account. But yes, the forwarding worked when I sent a message from my wife’s email, so thanks for that suggestion. Should I consider this resolved? I don’t foresee needing to send myself emails through my blog, but I don’t get why it doesn’t work. Again, thanks for your help.

  Normally it should work even if you’re sending from the address that’s used in the e-mail forwarding settings. Have you tried sending it from a different gmail account to see if that works?

  Thank you!
