Abstract
Various embodiments disclosed herein provide techniques for transmitting an email message over a network. An email forwarding application executing on an email server receives a first request from a first device within the network to resolve an email address of an email recipient, where the email address is associated with a first domain. The email forwarding application determines that the email recipient is associated with a second domain. The email forwarding application transmits, to the first device, a first response to the first request that identifies the email recipient and the second domain.
