I would like to know if there is any way to make an email address which would have your surname as the last part like @gmail.com should be substituted with @shah.com etc......... but the mail should be forwarded to the main Gmail address.

What i mean is that the main address should be say
gaurav@gmail.com

but gaurav distributes his address as gaurav@shah.com and this address forwards all the mail to gavrav@gmail.com.

Please do not write to me at gaurav@gmail.com as this is a fictatious email address and is in no way related to mine.

Please do help.

Thanks.

I know this does not sound possible but i know of someone who has done it .

Now dont tell me to ask him bcoz if I was still in touch with him I would have asked him already.

This is very easy search on the net there are many who have such address including me. exp-- you might have a website www.shah.com and correspondingly you could also get the address shah@shah.com. The exact details i will post after getting all my facts right. Hopefully someone might give you a solution before that also!!

No that is what I said is not possible in my case. Someone has done it without doing so. Thats why I ask.
