In cPanel, a domain forwarder is a setting that allows you to redirect all incoming email messages for a particular domain to a different email address. This is useful if you have multiple email addresses but you want to receive all your emails in a single inbox, or if you want to create an email address that is easy to remember but you don’t want to check regularly.
Domain forwarding automatically redirects visitors to alternative registered domains such as test newdomain.com or test newdomain.org. When the system is unable to deliver an email, domain forwarders redirect it to an address or an autoresponder configured in cPanel. You can easily add and remove domain forwarders from cPanel.
Quick Steps
Log in to your cPanel account.
Navigate to the “Email” section and select the “Forwarders” icon.
Click on the “Add Domain Forwarder” button.
Select the domain name from the drop-down menu where you want to forward the email.
In the “Blank” field, enter the email address to which you want to forward the emails.
Click on the “Add Domain Forwarder” button to save the forwarder.
Adding a domain forwarder
Log in to cPanel and click on the “Forwarders” icon, which is located under the “Email” section.

The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email authentication technique that is used against email spoofing. Setting up an SPF record helps to prevent malicious persons from using your domain to send unauthorized (malicious) emails, also called email spoofing. The SPF protocol is used as one of the standard methods to fight against spam and is also used in the DMARC specification.
An SPF record is a TXT record that is part of a domain’s DNS (Domain Name Service). An SPF record lists all authorized hostnames / IP addresses that are permitted to send an email on behalf of your domain.
Quick Steps:
Login to cPanel.
Navigate to the domain section and click Zone editor.
Click Add Record and select TXT record.
You can use the following SPF records for shared hosting “` domain.com >> TXT record >> v=spf1 +mx +a:out.webaccountserver.com +ip4:IPAddress ~all“`
You can replace the exact IP Address of the domain in question from the above record.
Adding SPF records on your cPanel interface.
