If you activate email forwarding, all messages sent to your email address will bypass spamBlocker (and your Blocked Sender List) completely. In other words, all incoming messages, including spam, will be sent to your forward address. However, if you select the option to leave copies of forwarded messages on the mail server, your spamBlocker settings will apply to those copies. If you’re forwarding your email to another EarthLink email address, you can activate spamBlocker on that email address to filter out spam. If you activate vacation messaging, the only people who will receive your automatic vacation reply will be those whom you normally allow to send you email. People on your Blocked Sender List (and, if you’ve activated Suspect Email Blocking, those who are not in your Address Book) will not receive your vacation reply.
