How does e-mail forwarding work?

E-mail forwarding lets you create an e-mail address which will redirect all incoming mail into single, or multiple other e-mail addresses. For example, if you would like advertiser@mydomain.com to be redirected to Bob@mydomain.com, Dave@anotherdomain.com, and Kathy@yetanotherdomain.com, you can do so easily. The redirected e-mail accounts do not have to be on the same domain.

To set up e-mail forwarding:
1. Log into CPanel
2. Click on Site Administration
3. Click on Forwarders under E-mail
4. Click Add Forwarder
5. On the left box, place the name of the e-mail address you'd like to create (advertiser@mydomain.com), and on the right, put the e-mail addresses you would like to have the email forwarded to. Put a "," for multiple addresses (bob@mydomain.com,dave@anotherdomain.com).
