Forwarders

Email Forwarding (Email aliases)

E-mail forwarding is a service through which e-mail messages are resent from a certain account to another. Example: you have created webmaster@yourdomain.com, info@yourdomain.com, etc. but you would like to have all the e-mails going to one and the same e-mail box, jim@yourdomain.com.

Adding an email forwarder

Step 1: To access the forwarders menu, click on the Forwarders icon on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

Step 2: Click on [Add Forwarder].

Step 3: Put the name of the email address you wish to forward from in the first blank field. For example: for user@domain.com, put user in the first blank field.

You can choose to what address the incoming mail should be forwarded. The other two options are to choose a failure message which will be returned to the sender or to pipe the message to a program.

If you click on Advanced Options, you will be able to choose to discard all forwarded mail.

Step 4: Click on [Add Forwarder] to add the forwarder.

To delete a forwarder, simply click on the [Delete] button next to it.

Make sure you have spelled both email addresses correctly when adding forwarders.
