How to Set Up Email Forwarding

Email forwarding lets you automatically redirect incoming messages from one address to another. It's useful if you want emails sent to info@yourdomain.ca to arrive in a Gmail or other inbox you already check regularly.

How to Set Up a Forwarder in cPanel

1. Log in to cPanel from your dotCanada dashboard.
2. Under the Email section, click Forwarders.
3. Click Add Forwarder.
4. In the Address to Forward field, enter the local part of the address (e.g., info) and select your domain.
5. Under Destination, choose Forward to Email Address and enter the destination inbox.
6. Click Add Forwarder to save.

Forwarding Tips

• You can forward to multiple addresses by adding separate forwarders.
• You can forward an entire domain - all email sent to any address at that domain - using the Domain Forwarders option on the same page.
• Forwarding does not create a copy in the original mailbox unless you also have a real email account at that address.
• Be aware that forwarding can sometimes affect email deliverability scores - consider SPF and DKIM alignment if forwarding to another domain.

To remove a forwarder, return to the Forwarders page in cPanel and click Delete next to the relevant entry. If you need help, contact our support team.
