howto: cpanel - email forwarders        rev 13 sep 2022

↓ info ↓ make in cpanel ↓ standard forwarders ↓ import in cpanel ↓ export from cpanel ↓ issues with gmail

.........................
info:

aka "email aliases"

They are saved in /etc/

......................... 
make forwarders in cpanel:

  easy. just do it.
  To have multiple recipients, just add another forwarder of
    same source email with new recipient.


.........................
standard forwarders:

Domin address often used by admins and programs:

abuse
admin
contact
info
postmaster
security
spam
webmaster

......................... 
import forwarders in cpanel:

  Email -> Address Importer (not Forwarders :)  )
  Select "Fowarders"

  Import as CSV or XLS file.
    (can also use TXT file and select 'space' as delimiter, i think.)

  Next screen will show all the forwarders as in the file.
  Choose the domain for the users? I think only need that if
     source column is only usernames, not full 'username@domain'

  Yes, it worked fine with multiple domains in source addresses.
  Any duplicates were just silently overwritten.

......................... 
export forwarders in cpanel:

  There isn't a way to export forwarders in cpanel.
  You make a csv file with headers
  Source, Target
  and content
  forwarder@domain.tld,target@domain.tld


.........................
issues with gmail:

Emails that are forwarded to a Gmail-based account are accepted 
by Google's mail servers, but never show up in your Gmail account.  (WTF!)

To solve this problem, go to Settings->Accounts,  
and add forwarders under the "Send mail as:" section. 
Then test the forwarding again.
