Abstract
Systems and methods provide an ability to split multiple email addresses having the same email domain across a plurality of email service providers. A first email server receives a forwarded email message from a second email server, the forwarded email message including an original domain and an intermediary domain, the intermediary domain added by the second email server. The first email server removes the intermediary domain from the recipient address and delivers the email message to a corresponding email account that is serviced by the first email server.
