Email Forwarding in cPanel

1. Log in to cPanel:

   • Once logged into your cPanel account, type Forwarders in the search bar at the top right to locate the Forwarders page.

2. Navigate Forwarder Options:

   • On the Forwarders page, you’ll see a few options:
     • Managing: Allows you to view all forwarders set up for your domains or filter them based on a specific domain.
     • Add Forwarder: Used to forward emails from a specific address to another email account.
     • Add Domain Forwarder: Redirects incoming emails for non-existent addresses to another domain.

3. Setting Up a Specific Email Forwarder:

   • If you want to forward emails for a specific account, click Add Forwarder.
   • For example, if you want emails sent to hello@yourdomain.com to be forwarded to hello@gmail.com, enter the necessary information in the fields provided.
   • Additional options include:
     • Discard with error: Sends a bounce-back error to the sender.
     • Forward to a system account or pipe to a program: Options for more advanced setups.

4. Confirmation:

   • Once the email forwarder is set up, you’ll see a confirmation page.

5. Setting Up a Domain Forwarder:

   • Go back to the Forwarders main page and click Add Domain Forwarder.
   • Select the domain you want to forward emails from and enter the destination domain. For instance, forwarding emails from example.com to example2.com.
   • Click Add Domain Forwarder to complete the setup.

Note: Domain forwarders will only forward emails if the system can’t deliver them to an existing address or autoresponder. For example, if johnny@example.com exists, the email won’t be forwarded to example2.com. If it doesn’t exist, the email will be forwarded to johnny@example2.com.

6. Deleting Forwarders:
   • To delete a forwarder, navigate back to the Forwarders page and click the delete option next to the specific forwarder.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully set up an email forwarder.
