Set Up: How to create an email forwarder in cPanel

An email forwarder allows a copy of an email sent to one address to be forwarded to another address. 

Note that you can forward emails from a specific email account or all emails from one domain name.

Email domain forwarder

These steps show you how to forward all emails from one domain name to another domain.

1. On the Forwarders window, click Add Domain Forwarder.

   

2. Enter the domain you would like to be forwarded. If you have more than one domain name on your hosting account, simply select the domain name from the Domain drop-down menu.
3. Enter the destination (ie. another domain) for the forwarded email.
4. Click Add Domain Forwarder.

*NOTE: Domain forwarders will only forward email when the system cannot deliver it to another email address. For example, a user sends an email to john@example1.com. If john@example1.com is an existing email address or has auto-responder set up, then the email will not be forwarded. The email will be forwarded if john@example1.com is not an existing email address or auto-responder.
