How does the lifelong e-mail forwarding facility work?
The lifelong email forwarding address is simply your UserName @ iitbombay.org. If your Alumni Directory UserName is RamSingh and the Primary e-mail address you have specified in the IITBHF/IITBAA Alumni Directory is rs123 @ hotmail.com, then all mail sent to ramsingh @ iitbombay.org will be forwarded to rs123 @ hotmail.com. When you move, travel, change jobs, or change ISPs, your e-mail account is likely to change. By using e-mail forwarding, you can simply login to http://www.iitbombay.org and update your forwarding address online.

You no longer have to notify everyone of your e-mail address change, nor will you ever miss an e-mail again. Users of MS Outlook and other advanced mail clients can also set the sender’s address (e.g. User Information
