Email forwarding
How to automatically send messages from one address to another using Forwarders.
Forwarding (a forwarder) automatically sends messages received at one address to another, e.g. from info@yourdomain.com to your personal address. The address you forward from does not need its own mailbox.
Forwarder for one address#
- In cPanel, in the Email section, open Forwarders.
- Click Add Forwarder.
- In Address enter the part before @ and choose the domain.
- In Destination select Forward to Email Address and enter the destination address.
- Click Add Forwarder.
Forwarder for a whole domain#
The Add Domain Forwarder option forwards all mail of one domain to another domain. Use it only when really needed.
Default (catch-all) address#
In Default Address you can set what happens with mail sent to non-existent addresses. We recommend Discard with error to sender, because a catch-all attracts a lot of spam.
