2. Now, verify you are logged into the correct email address and click “Forwarders“.
   
3. This screen shows you currently have no forwarders set up. Click “Add Forwarder“.

Forward All Email for a Domain

1. Log into the cPanel.
2. Click Forwarders in the Mail section.
3. Click Add Domain Forwarder.
   
4. Select the Domain you want to forward email from, in the drop-down box. Then, enter the domain you want to forward to. The official cPanel documentation notes: “Domain forwarding takes place only when a delivery is not successful. For example, a user sends an email to john@example1.com. If john@example1.com is an existing email address or auto responder, then the email will not be forwarded.”
5. Click Add Domain Forwarder.
   
   You are finished when you see a message similar to: “File updated ‘/etc/vdomainaliases/example.com’ All email sent to example.com will now be copied to domain.com”.
