An email forwarder is an email address that exists only to forward emails to other addresses.  These can be email addresses in your own domain, or to an existing e-mail in a different domain. 

In practice, if you create an alias called info associated with one or more people addresses, for example, Paul@yourdomain.com  and Bob@yourdomain.com, all the messages sent to “info@yourdomain.com” will also be received by both Paul and Bob.  But the ”info” address doesn’t exist as an email account you can access, so you cannot configure your e-mail client to log into it, or access it through webmail.
