For example, you can forward <code>info@yourdomain.com<\/code> to your personal Gmail account so you never miss a message. This guide shows you how to set up forwarders in cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create an Email Forwarder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to your <strong>cPanel<\/strong> account.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>Email<\/strong> section, click <strong>Forwarders<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Add Forwarder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>Address to Forward<\/strong> field, enter the email address you want to forward (e.g., <code>info<\/code>).<\/li>\n<li>Select your domain from the dropdown.<\/li>\n<li>Under <strong>Forward to Email Address<\/strong>, enter the destination email address (e.g., your Gmail).<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Add Forwarder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emails sent to <code>info@yourdomain.com<\/code> will now be automatically forwarded to your chosen address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Forward All Emails for a Domain (Catch-All)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>catch-all forwarder<\/strong> sends any email sent to <em>any<\/em> address at your domain (even addresses that do not exist) to a single inbox. This is useful so no message ever bounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the <strong>Forwarders<\/strong> page, click <strong>Add Domain Forwarder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Select your domain and enter the destination email address.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Add Domain Forwarder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Note:<\/strong> Catch-all forwarders can attract a lot of spam. Use them selectively, and make sure your spam filter is enabled at the destination address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Delete a Forwarder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>cPanel &rarr; Forwarders<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Find the forwarder you want to remove in the list.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Delete<\/strong> next to it and confirm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forwarding to an external provider (like Gmail or Outlook) means the email is re-sent from your server. If your SPF record is not set up correctly, forwarded emails may end up in spam.

If you want to keep a copy, choose <strong>Forward to email address AND keep a local copy<\/strong> when creating the forwarder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need help? <a href=\"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact our support team<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview An email forwarder automatically sends all emails that arrive at one address to another address \u2014 without needing to log in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1930,"menu_order":9,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2333","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/2333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/2333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2334,"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/2333\/revisions\/2334"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/1930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veerhost.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=2333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
