New Alumni Email Forwarding addresses are no longer being offered, as of December 2020. Forwarding that had been set up prior to December 2020 will continue to operate as-is until further notice.
Alumni forwarding addresses have the form:

Tip for avoiding Spam filters
Set your Reply-To field to be your FirstName.LastName@alumni.carleton.edu address, rather than the From address, when sending email messages.
Different mailing programs handle forwarded/forwarding email differently, but the key (if you want replies to go to your @alumni.carleton.edu address) is to set the Reply-To field to be your @alumni.carleton.edu and leave the From address alone. By changing the Reply-To address and leaving your From address so that it points to your existing email provider, you will avoid having your email labeled as spam.
