I've set up email forwarding for this domain, but it doesn't forward to my gmail account. What am I doing wrong?

It seems everything is set up correctly. Have you sent a test message from anything but your gmail account? For some reason, gmail will not forward to itself.

Does email forwarding not work with Gmail?

Every domain registered at Dynadot comes with free email forwarding that allows you to receive email to an address on your domain name, for example, [email protected]. The email is forwarded to an existing email such as your Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or other email.

Yes, you read that correctly. Our email forwarding does work with Gmail. However, there is a catch. Sending an email from your Gmail account to your domain email, which then forwards back to the same Gmail account, will not work. Gmail will detect the forwarded email to yourself and not deliver the email. We are not sure why Gmail does this. However, all other forwarding with Gmail should work properly.

BTW, this seems to be the issue with two other domains, as well. @kasamacoaching.com and @kasamaconsulting.com .
