How do I create an email forwarder? Print

  • 5

There are a few things to be aware of with email forwarders:

  1. Some mail providers treat forwarded mail like spam (we can't control this)
  2. You can't send from a forwarder (only receive to the address being forwarded to)
  3. There is no storage of emails sent to the address being forwarded from

To create a mail forwarder:

    • Login to cPanel.
    • Locate and click on the "Forwarders" icon within the "Mail" category:

Email forwarders

    • Click on the "Add Forwarder" button.
Click the Add Forwarder button.
    • Enter the configuration you desire for the forwarder.

For example if you would like to forward emails from you@yourwebsite.com to me@somewherelse.com you'd set:

Address to Forward: you

Domain: yourwebsite.com

Select the "Forward to Email Address" option

Forward to Email Address: me@somewherelse.com

Then click "Add forwarder"

Like this:

Create email forwarder

With the above in effect, any email sent to you@yourwebsite.com will be automatically forwarded to me@somehwereelse.com.
