Setting up Email forwarding
cPanel Email Forwarder options can be found by clicking the Forwarders icon in the EMAIL section.

You can choose to forward email from one address to another or for an entire domain.

Do I need to create a full email account for each address I want to forward?
No. If your domain is mydomain.com and you want to forward email from sales@mydomain.com to john.smith@somewhere.com then you don't need to create a mailbox for sales@mydomain.com.
Simply select mydomain.com from the dropdown list when Adding a Forwarder and then type sales in the Address to Forward box and john.smith@somewhere.com in the Forward to Email Address box.

Can I forward email for an existing mailbox?
Yes. All that will happen is that a copy of the incoming message will be left in the original mailbox inbox, and another copy will be forwarded to any forwarding addresses that are configured.
What if I want to forward an email address to multiple destinations?
Just create multiple forwarders - one for each destination email address.
