# Email forwarders

> How to create email forwarders in cPanel to redirect messages to another address, or forward all mail for a domain.

A forwarder sends a copy of incoming email from one address to another. You can use forwarders to consolidate multiple addresses into a single inbox, redirect mail from an old address to a new one, or send copies of messages to several people at once.

## Create an account forwarder

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Forwarders">
    Log in to cPanel through your [client area](https://my.speedypage.com) or at `yourdomain.com/cpanel`. Go to **Email** and click **Forwarders**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the forwarder">
    Select the domain from the **Managing** menu, then click **Add Forwarder**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the source address">
    Enter the username (the part before the `@`) of the address you want to forward. Pick the domain from the dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what happens to the mail">
    Select one of the following:

    * **Forward to Email Address** — enter the destination address. You can forward to multiple addresses by separating them with commas.
    * **Discard and send an error to the sender (at SMTP time)** — rejects the message and returns a failure notice. You can customise the error message.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the forwarder">
    Click **Add Forwarder**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If an email account exists with the same address as the forwarder, both the account and the forwarding destination receive a copy of each message. If you only want the destination to receive mail, delete the email account.
</Note>

<Note>
  You cannot edit a forwarder after creating it. To change where an address forwards to, delete the existing forwarder and create a new one.
</Note>

## Delete a forwarder

In the **Email Account Forwarders** table, click **Delete** next to the forwarder you want to remove, then confirm.

## Domain forwarders

A domain forwarder redirects all undeliverable mail for one domain to another domain. It only applies to addresses that do not have a matching email account or autoresponder.

For example, if you set up a domain forwarder from `oldsite.com` to `newsite.com`, an email sent to `info@oldsite.com` will go to `info@newsite.com` — but only if `info@oldsite.com` does not already exist as an account.

### Create a domain forwarder

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Forwarders">
    In cPanel, go to **Email** > **Forwarders**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the domain forwarder">
    Click **Add Domain Forwarder**. Select the source domain and enter the destination domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Add Domain Forwarder**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Delete a domain forwarder

In the **Forward All Email for a Domain** table, click **Delete** next to the domain forwarder, then confirm.

<Tip>
  If you want all undeliverable mail for a domain to go to a single address rather than a matching address on another domain, use the [default address](/web-hosting/email/default-address) feature instead.
