Configuration des redirecteurs d'e-mails dans cPanel

Email forwarders in cPanel allow incoming messages to be redirected automatically to other addresses or domains. Forwarders are useful for routing messages to shared mailboxes, helpdesk systems, or alternative domains without creating additional mailboxes.

There are two supported forwarder types: account forwarders and domain forwarders.

Important considerations before using forwarders

Email forwarders relay all messages, including unsolicited mail. Excessive forwarding of spam can cause mail providers such as Gmail or Outlook to block the sending server. To reduce this risk, mailbox retrieval using external providers is often preferred over forwarding.

Forwarders are available on standard Hébergement cPanel environnements.

Account forwarders

Account forwarders redirect messages sent to a single email address.
