# Forwarders

> Send mail from one address to another, or fan out to many recipients.

Forwarders pass incoming mail to a different address without keeping a mailbox of their own. Two flavors live here: address forwarders (send `info@yoursite.com` to your personal Gmail) and domain forwarders (forward every address on `oldsite.com` to the same address on `newsite.com`).

Open it from cPanel home → **Email** → **Forwarders**.

## Create an address forwarder

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add Forwarder">
    Top of the Forwarders page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the source address">
    Type the local part (e.g. `info`) and pick the domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose where it goes">
    Most common: **Forward to email address** with a single destination. You can also discard with a custom error message, or pipe the mail to a script (advanced).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Add Forwarder**. Forwarders apply immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Forward to multiple recipients

cPanel doesn't let you set multiple destinations on one forwarder directly, but you can stack them: create separate forwarders all pointing the same source at different destinations. Mail sent to the source gets duplicated to each.

For larger fan-out, use [Mailing Lists](/web-hosting/cpanel/email-management/mailing-lists) instead.

## Domain-wide forwarders

Use this when you've moved a domain and want every address on the old domain to flow to the new one. The mapping preserves the local part: `anything@oldsite.com` becomes `anything@newsite.com`.

Click **Add Domain Forwarder**, pick the source domain, type the destination domain, save.

## Tips

* **Forwarders break SPF.** Mail forwarded from `info@yoursite.com` to a Gmail address will have your SPF record applied to a sender who isn't you. Many providers reject this. Consider [setting up the mailbox proper](/web-hosting/cpanel/email-management/email-accounts) and pulling it from Gmail with IMAP instead.
* **Loops.** Forwarding `a@yoursite.com` to `b@yoursite.com` and `b` to `a` creates a loop. cPanel detects most loops, but watch for circular paths through external addresses.
* **Forwarders survive mailbox deletion.** Deleting a mailbox doesn't remove forwarders pointing at the same address. Clean them up here too.
