cPanel email offers two options for email forwarding:

  • Forwarders send a copy of every email received at an address to another address. For example, setting up a Forwarder for john@coolexample.com, forwarding to jane@coolexample.com, Jane will receive a copy of every message sent to John.

    Forwarders in cPanel work even if the forwarding email address doesn't exist. In the example above, even if john@coolexample.com didn't exist as its own email account, jane@coolexample.com would still receive emails sent to John.

  • Forward All Email for a Domain forwards any email sent to a domain name to the same email address at another domain name. For example, if you forward all email for coolexample.com to coolexample.net, all email sent to john@coolexample.com gets forwarded to john@coolexample.net. For more information, see cPanel's documentation.

    If you Forward All Email for a Domain, that domain's email addresses do not receive email.

For more information, see cPanel's documentation.
