Mail forwarding

Mail forwarding is the process of resending an email originally destined for one address to a further address. For example, with mail forwarding activated, an email to user1@domain1.tld would be also resent to user1@domain2.tld by the mail server for user1@domain1.tld.

Possible uses include a group email address having emails forwarded to its members and if the recipient is on holiday, their emails can be sent to a further party.
