Forward Email is an open-source email hosting and forwarding service. Founded in 2017, the platform provides email address management for custom domains using standard protocols including SMTP, IMAP, and POP3.[1]
Architecture and Features
The service's infrastructure operates on dedicated bare-metal servers utilizing NVMe storage to manage input/output operations.[2] Forward Email structures its data storage by isolating each user's mailbox into an individual, encrypted SQLite database.[2]
The platform supports unlimited custom domains, email aliases, and catch-all addresses. It also provides CalDAV protocol support for calendar synchronization..[1]
Adoption
The service is utilized by several institutional and enterprise organizations, including Netflix Games, the United States Naval Academy, and the Linux Foundation.[2]
In May 2025, Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu operating system, announced it had adopted Forward Email to manage the `@ubuntu.com` email aliases granted to official Ubuntu Members, replacing their previous internal routing system to address spam filtering issues.[3]
