erm. I'd be very surprised if there was any Domain name vendor worldwide

who *didn't* offer this product. and I'm sure 95% of them offer it for

Forwarding is kind of a fundamental bit of how this email thing works. 


sticking a web interface on it and charging 15 quid a month seems a bit

over the top, though. Are you sure NetBenefit aren't giving you some

real services that you've overlooked?
