    I am not sure that this is the right place for this question!

    I need to create an email address that automatically forward the emails it receives to my mailing list. my email Lists are stored in my mailChimp account.

    thanks in advance,

    What are you using for your SMTP service? Are you on shared hosting on some place like hostgator that uses cPanel to manage your hosting?

    Ive never used Mailchimp but I assume it has an email address for the mailing list that you can send to and it will forward to the mailing list like . You can simply create the email address you need in cPanel under Mail -> Email Accounts and then create a forwarder in cPanel under Mail -> Fowarders so that all email to the address you created gets forwarded to the email address you set up in the forwarder.

    Which I assume would be the mailing list email address at mailchimp

    thanks for your time but my question is how to create the email : and not the normal email address with the forwarder. i want to create the email address that forward to an email list, and not to another email.

    thanks in advance,

    Ahh, I guess thats a mailchimp question then, although you should be able to create mailing lists on cPanel as well under Mail -> mailing lists. Once created you can manage it and import your addresses to the list. But you mentioned you would rather do it in Mailchimp.
