Introduction

This Knowledge Base article provides a simple, step-by-step guide on How to Create a Domain Forwarder in cPanel. Domain forwarders automatically redirect all undeliverable emails sent to one domain to another domain. This is useful if you own multiple domains and want emails from one to be forwarded to another without setting up separate accounts for each address.

Prerequisite

• Access to your cPanel login page.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Step 2: Open Forwarders

• On the cPanel Home page, under Email, click Forwarders.

Step 3: Add Domain Forwarder

• In the Create an Email Account Forwarder section, click Add Domain Forwarder.

Step 4: Select the Domain

• In the Domain drop-down menu, choose the domain from which you want to forward emails (source domain).

Step 5: Enter Destination Domain

• In the text box, type the domain to which you want to forward all undeliverable emails.

Step 6: Create the Domain

• Forwarder Click Add Domain Forwarder to save the changes.

Step 7: Verify the Forwarder

• A success message will appear.
• Additionally, click Go Back to confirm that the new domain forwarder is listed in the Forward All Email for a Domain table.
• Optionally, send a test email to a non-existent email address under the source domain (e.g: test123@yourdomain.com.my) and check the destination domain email to confirm it was received.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily create a domain forwarder in cPanel. This ensures that undeliverable emails sent to one domain are automatically redirected to another, helping you manage multiple domains more efficiently.
