A Web server thing, whatever your Web server (Apache or another).

This is not mail forwarding.  This is mail serving.

Set up a Web server on www.jrmdesigns.com that forwards all queries to
www.apositiveeffect.com.  Or ask www.apositiveeffect.com to host the
virtual server www.jrmdesigns.com, and set up your DNS to point that
name to that IP address.
