Auto-Forward e-mails. Is this possible?

What control panel does your web host use? (I'm assuming that it does...)

The control panel cpanelx and it uses mailman for mailing lists. I went on their website, but they only had a half written faq. I have no idea what I need to do to set this up the way I want to.
 
Go to mail --> mailing lists

Add new mailing list
Complete the "List Name", "Password", and "Domain" boxes

Assuming creation was successful, click "go back" to return to the Mailing List
Maintenance screen

Click on "Edit" beside the list you wish to edit
Put in your password

The defaults are OK just to get you started

To add members, click on "Membership Management", and then "Mass Subscription"

To send mail to everyone, the address is <your list name>@<your domain name>

It's rather user friendly... at least to me. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them, and I'll see what I can figure out... I'm familiar with other mailing list servers, but not Mail Man... so it'll be a learning experience for me too if you need help 😛

I just signed up for Ripplehost for my parents' business website... 🙁 Is it really that bad? Everyone I saw, said good things about it.

Yep I would use hostpc.com e-rice.net or telnap.com instead

But I want to select individual e-mail addresses. Not just ones at my domain. Also, I would rather have people be able to sign up on their own.

Yes you can do all that but you'll need a GOOD web host (not RippleHost).

You get what you pay for.
