Email Forwarding in cPanel

Setting up an email forwarder is quite easy. Follow the step-by-step guide below:

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

• First, log in to your cPanel area and type Forwarders in the top right search bar.

Step 2: Access the Forwarders Page

• Once you have the Forwarders page open, you'll see several options:

  • Managing: View all forwarders set up for your domains or filter them by a specific domain.

  • Add Forwarder: Create a specific email account forwarder.

  • Add Domain Forwarder: Redirect incoming email for invalid addresses to another domain.

Step 3: Create an Email Forwarder

• To forward incoming emails from a specific account, use the Add Forwarder option. For example, to forward all incoming emails from [email protected] to [email protected], fill in the fields as follows:

You can also choose additional options, such as:

• Discarding the email with a bounce-back error sent to the sender.

• Forwarding to a cPanel system account.

• Piping to a specific program.

• Discarding the emails completely.

• Once the email forwarder is set up successfully, you will see a confirmation page.

Step 4: Set Up a Domain Forwarder

• If you wish to set up a domain forwarder, go back to the Forwarders main page and click Add Domain Forwarder.

• Select the domain from which you want to forward emails and the destination domain. For example, to set up a domain forwarder from example.com to example2.com, fill in the details and click Add Domain Forwarder.

Important: Domain forwarders only activate when the system cannot deliver an email to an existing address or autoresponder.

• If [email protected] exists, the email will not be forwarded to example2.com.

• If [email protected] does not exist, the email will be forwarded to [email protected].

Step 5: Deleting Existing Forwarders

• To delete any existing forwarders, navigate to the Forwarders main page and click the delete button.
