CyanDB email forwarding FAQs
What is custom domain email forwarding?
It lets you use addresses at your own domain, such as hello@example.com, and route incoming messages to an existing inbox instead of managing another mailbox.
Do I need to create another mailbox?
No. CyanDB is designed to help you manage custom-domain aliases that point to inboxes you already use.
Can I send email from a CyanDB alias?
No. CyanDB is for managing receive-and-forward email setup. Sending email from an alias is not supported.
Does the current CyanDB preview forward live email?
No. The current development preview uses a mock provider. It does not deliver or forward real email.
Will CyanDB change my DNS records automatically?
No. The preview does not change DNS records automatically. Review your email provider’s instructions before changing MX records, because incorrect changes can interrupt existing mail.
