An email forwarder lets messages sent to one address be automatically delivered to another. For example, you can make messages sent to sales@yourdomain.com arrive at another mailbox as well.

Before you start

You need:

1. Access to cPanel.
2. The domain added to your hosting account.
3. The source email address.

1. Sign in to cPanel.
2. Find the Email section.
3. Open Forwarders.
4. Click Add Forwarder.
5. Enter the first part of the source address.
6. Select the correct domain.
7. Enter the destination address.
8. Review it carefully.
9. Click Add Forwarder.
10. Send a test message to the original address.

Conclusion

Creating a forwarder in cPanel is quick from the Forwarders section. Always review the source and destination addresses and test delivery afterwards.
