In cPanel, a domain forwarder is a setting that allows you to redirect all incoming email messages for a particular domain to a different email address. This is useful if you have multiple email addresses but you want to receive all your emails in a single inbox, or if you want to create an email address that is easy to remember but you don’t want to check regularly.
Domain forwarding automatically redirects visitors to alternative registered domains such as test newdomain.com or test newdomain.org. When the system is unable to deliver an email, domain forwarders redirect it to an address or an autoresponder configured in cPanel. You can easily add and remove domain forwarders from cPanel.
Quick Steps
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Navigate to the “Email” section and select the “Forwarders” icon.
- Click on the “Add Domain Forwarder” button.
- Select the domain name from the drop-down menu where you want to forward the email.
- In the “Blank” field, enter the email address to which you want to forward the emails.
- Click on the “Add Domain Forwarder” button to save the forwarder.
