After having unsuccessfully spent most of the day and half of the evening attempting to connect my phplist without having the benefit of instructions, installation details that I requested to be emailed to me, per clicking on the installation details via email button at the bottom of the phplist page. These installations details were never received in my inbox.

So today I started a new project...something simple like mail forwarding I thought. After entering all the information I decided to check this function out.

To see if this function was operational I send myself a couple emails....to which I received Mail Daemon notices. Oh well!! at least I was notified there was email in my Bluehost cp.

Next I tried using my Hotmail addy, and my Yahoo addy....neither was forwarded to my computer inbox

Now I got the Blues...

Really, what do you mean? Why would you do an mail forwarding to your hotmail and yahoo account? And it sounds like you expect the mail to go from your yahoo and hotmail account to your mail at bluehost?!? And what error was in the notices?

Excuse me but I sent emails from my yahoo and hotmail addys to my addy on bluehost to see if my mail forwarding at bluehost would forward them to me.

Ah, ok. But what did the notices tell? Mail forwarding works great for me.

Well I never considered mail forwarding as being "simple" it's actually a very complex feature. I tried the same thing as in the past and then I gave up and ask for proffessional help. I am running a business and I really need this feature, asking for help was one of my best decissions.

Well I think that bluehost support can help you out of this problem.try contacting them before you spend any more precious time in understanding the email forwarding.
May be just a minor problem in setting up of your forwarding settings,so just contact the bluehost support and they will definitely help you out
