A forwarder is important when you want a copy of an email to be sent to another e-mail address upon receipt. To create e-mail forwarder�s, please do the following:

1. Log into cPanel
2. Click on the "Forwarders" icon.
3. Click on "Add Forwarder."
4. In the first box, provide the beginning extension for the email address you wish to set up to forward email from.
5. In the drop down menu to the right of the �@� sign, select a domain for which the email address is associated with.
6. Next, you must choose the destination of the new forwarding email. You will be given three options.
   • "Forward to an email address" is the default option. Select this if you wish to send emails to a specific email address.
   • Discard with error to sender (at SMTP time). Choose this option if you wish for the E-mails to bounce back to the sender with an error message. You may choose the failure message that is given.
   • The "Pipe to a program" option will send the email to a script of your choice. When piping to a program, you should enter a path relative to your home directory. If the script requires an interpreter such as perl or php, you should omit the "/usr/bin/perl" or "/usr/bin/php" portion. Make sure that your script is executable and has the appropriate Hashbang at the top of the script. If you do not know how to add the Hashbang, just make sure to name your script file with the correct extension and you will be prompted to have the Hashbang added automatically.
7. Now click on "Add Forwarder" to complete the creation of your new forwarder.
