How to Add an Email Forwarder in cPanel
Applies to all iCoreHosting cPanel hosting packages
Step-by-Step Guide
- Login to cPanel using your hosting account details.
- Scroll to the Email section and click Forwarders.
- Click the Add Forwarder button.
- In Address to Forward, type the local part of the email (e.g.,
info). - Select the correct Domain from the dropdown (e.g.,
yourdomain.com). - Under Destination, choose Forward to Email Address and enter the target mailbox (e.g.,
[email protected]). - Click Add Forwarder to save.
Tip: If a mailbox exists for that address, messages will be both delivered locally and forwarded. If no mailbox exists, mail will only be forwarded.
⚠️ Important Remark: Do not forward directly to Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail/Outlook.com or other free mail providers. These services enforce strict receiving limits and forwarded emails can be blocked or dropped.
✅ Use their POP3/IMAP fetch function or forward only to business/enterprise emails.
