Why the Industry Is Moving to Forwarding

The economics and security case are clear

Google ended unlimited education storage in 2022

The 100 TB pooled storage cap forced universities to rethink alumni accounts. Schools with 50,000+ alumni can no longer afford to keep inactive mailboxes competing with active students for storage.

Read the full story →

Princeton dropped alumni forwarding in 2024

Email authentication requirements (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) made basic university forwarding unreliable. Princeton discontinued service for 16,000 alumni. Professional forwarding with SRS and ARC solves this.

Read the case study →

Inactive mailboxes are a growing security risk

Every inactive alumni account is an attack surface — vulnerable to credential stuffing, phishing staging, and unauthorized access. Forwarding eliminates the mailbox entirely while preserving the address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how we help universities maintain alumni connections while reducing costs. For more details, visit our support center.

User Management

We offer three flexible methods: 1) RESTful API for automated integration with your systems, 2) Bulk CSV imports for batch updates, and 3) Manual additions through our admin portal. You can mix and match these methods based on your needs.

Our RESTful API lets you automate user management directly from your systems. You can create, update, and delete forwards programmatically. Common uses include syncing with alumni databases, automatic provisioning for new graduates, and bulk updates. We provide detailed API documentation and example code in multiple languages.

CSV imports are perfect for batch updates and initial migrations. Simply prepare a spreadsheet with required fields (typically email, forwarding address, and optional metadata), and upload it through our admin portal. The system validates all entries and provides detailed success/error reporting.

Yes, our admin portal provides a simple interface for individual user management. You can add new forwards, update existing ones, and manage settings. The portal also offers role-based access, letting you delegate management tasks to different team members.

For Universities

Our service eliminates three major cost centers: expensive per-user cloud licenses (Google/Microsoft), aging on-premise hardware maintenance, and technical support burden. Universities typically save over 99% while improving the alumni experience.

Most universities are fully migrated within days, not months. We have a proven process that has successfully transitioned over 16 million mailboxes from all major platforms (Google Workspace, Office 365) and legacy systems (Postfix, Sendmail, Exim). Our team handles the technical heavy lifting.

Unlike basic forwarding, we provide enterprise-grade features: advanced security (DKIM, SPF, DMARC), spam protection, delivery monitoring, self-service alumni portal, comprehensive admin tools, and 24/7 support. Plus, our purpose-built system maintains perfect deliverability without storage costs.

For Alumni

The alumni portal puts you in control of your university email presence. Update your forwarding address instantly, manage multiple university email addresses in one place (like department-specific or organization addresses), and maintain your security settings—all through a simple, secure interface. It's your one-stop hub for managing your lifetime university email connection.

Yes! Your @alumni.school.edu address remains exactly the same. The only change is that messages are automatically forwarded to your preferred personal email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). You keep your professional identity without managing a separate inbox.

We provide a simple self-service portal where you can instantly update your forwarding address anytime. Whether you're changing jobs or email providers, you can keep your alumni connection without any interruption.

Security & Reliability

We maintain perfect delivery through multiple technologies: authenticated email signing (DKIM, SPF, ARC), real-time blacklist monitoring, spam protection, and automatic failover. Our global infrastructure provides 99% uptime with full TLS encryption.

Security is built into every layer: SOC 2 Type 2 certified infrastructure, advanced phishing protection, domain spoofing prevention, and optional IP whitelisting. Messages are never stored—they're instantly forwarded through our secure global network.

Yes, administrators have full visibility through comprehensive logs, real-time analytics, and custom reporting. Track delivery rates, update patterns, and system performance. All logs are easily accessible through our admin portal.

Self-Service Portal

The self-service portal reduces administrative overhead while improving the alumni experience. Alumni can instantly update their forwarding addresses, manage multiple university email addresses in one unified dashboard, and maintain their security preferences. This self-service approach dramatically reduces support tickets and ensures alumni always have access to their university communications.

Our portal provides centralized management for all university-related email addresses. If an alumnus has addresses from different departments, organizations, or roles at the university, they can manage everything in one place. This consolidation simplifies the experience for alumni and reduces confusion about where to update their information.

The portal includes enterprise-grade security features: secure authentication, email verification for forwarding changes, automatic suspicious activity detection, and detailed audit logging. Alumni can also enable additional security features like two-factor authentication for their portal access.

Enterprise Agreements

Yes, we offer comprehensive SLAs that guarantee 99% uptime, response time commitments, and specific performance metrics. Our enterprise SLA includes detailed service commitments, incident response times, and compensation terms for any service disruptions.

Yes, we provide a standard Data Processing Agreement that details our data handling practices, security measures, and compliance commitments. Our DPA addresses GDPR requirements and can be customized for specific institutional needs. We're happy to review and sign your institution's DPA as well.

We provide all necessary enterprise documentation including: detailed Terms of Service, Security Documentation, and SOC 2 Type 2 reports. We can also work with your legal team to address any specific compliance or regulatory requirements.

Implementation & Support

The process is simple: We'll analyze your current setup, provide a migration plan, and handle the technical transition. Most universities just need to update their DNS records. We support bulk imports via CSV or API, and can help consolidate multiple email domains.

You get 24/7 access to our technical team through live chat, phone, and email. We provide direct support to system administrators, while giving you tools to efficiently manage alumni requests. Our dedicated migration specialists ensure a smooth transition.

Yes, we're highly flexible. Whether you need department-specific subdomains, custom routing rules, whitelist/blacklist controls, or special TLS requirements—we can handle it. Our system adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
