Forwarders can be set up in cPanel or from Webmail.<\/p>\n<p>cPanel offers two types of forwarders:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email account forwarders:<\/strong> the most common type. They forward messages for one address (for example information@example.com) to another address (for example helpdesk@example.com). You can create several forwarders to send one address to several accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Domain forwarders:<\/strong> forward all incoming email for one domain to another domain, for example from test.example.com to example.com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>1.
