Forwarders

Forwarders allow you to direct incoming mail to a different address. For example, assume you wanted e-mail sent to support@yourdomain.com and sales@yourdomain.com to arrive at the e-mail account customerservice@yourdomain.com.

You can create two forwarders that will let you do this.

Creating Forwarders

To create a forwarder, first access the “E-Mail Menu” from the control panel. Next, click on the “Forwarders” icon and then click the “Create New Forwarder” link at the top of the page.

Enter the forwarder name, destination address, and then click the “Create” button.

TIP: You can forward to multiple address by simply separating the email addresses with a comma (no spaces). For example: email@domain1.com,email@domain2.com,email@domain3.com

Other valid forward values are :fail: and :blackhole:

  • :fail: will return a failed message to the sender.
  • :blackhole: will accept the email and discard it.

Modifying / Deleting Forwarders

All forwarders are listed in the forwarders menu. To delete a forwarder, check the box(es) beside the forwarder name(s) and then click the “Delete Selected” button.

A forwarder can be modified by clicking the “modify” link next to the forwarder address. The modify feature allows you to change the destination e-mail address but not the forwarder name.
