How to use Email Forwarders in cPanel?

After succesfull login into your cPanel area, just click Forwarders icons in Mail Tab like this picture


What is Email Forwarders?

Forwarders allow you to send a copy of all mail from one email address to another. For example, if you have two different email accounts, joe@example.com and joseph@example.com, you could forward joe@example.com to joseph@example.com so that you do not need to check both accounts. Note that the forwarded mail will still be delivered to the original address as well.

Now, click Add Forwarders to add new forward email


Fill out your email at address section
Put destination email to receive email forwarders from this tools

The first option (Forward to email address) will forward mail sent to non-existent addresses according to what is specified in the ‘Forward to email address’ field. Selecting the first option is a very bad idea as you will likely receive a large volume of junk mail sent to random addresses at your domain (e.g. somethingemail@yourdomain.com). For this reason, we recommend that all customers set the default address behavior to ‘Discard with error to sender (at SMTP time)’.

The first step in fighting incoming junk mail is to turn off e-mail “catch-all”. This is done by setting the default address behavior to ‘Discard with error to sender (at SMTP time)’.

Another description for Pipe.

When piping to a program, you should enter a path relative to your home directory. If the script requires an interpreter such as Perl or PHP, you should omit the /usr/bin/perl or /usr/bin/php portion. Make sure that your script is executable and has the appropriate hashbang at the top of the script. If you do not know how to add the hashbang, just make sure to name your script file with the correct extension and you will be prompted to have the hashbang added automatically.
