How to Add an Email Forwarder in Webuzo

What is an email forwarder?

An email forwarder is like mail redirection at the post office. When someone writes to one address, the mail also goes to a second address. For example, mail sent to sales@example.com can arrive in your personal inbox. You do not need to check many mailboxes.

Webuzo is a control panel. It is a web page where you manage your hosting and your email.

Steps

1. Log in to Webuzo. Your welcome email has the address and login. You can also check the Services menu in your client area.
2. Open the Email section, or type Forwarders in the search box.
3. Click Email Forwarders.

   

4. Click Add Forwarder.
5. In the first box, type the name before the @ sign. This is the address that will receive the mail, for example sales.
6. Choose the domain from the list.
7. In the destination box, type the address that should get the copy. For example, myname@gmail.com.
8. Click Add or Create.

   

9. Look for the success message.

Test it

1. Send an email to the first address from a different account.
2. Open the destination inbox.
3. Check the spam folder if it does not show up in a few minutes.

Remove a forwarder

1. Go back to Email Forwarders.
2. Find the forwarder in the list.
3. Click Delete or the bin icon.
4. Confirm.

Things to know

• The address you forward from may not need a real mailbox. A forwarder alone can work.
• Do not forward address A to B and B back to A. This makes a loop. Mail will bounce again and again.
• Some mail services mark forwarded mail as spam. Ask recipients to check their junk folder.
• Only forward to addresses you control, or where the owner agrees.

Menu names can differ between versions. If you are stuck, open a support ticket.

Quick recap

• A forwarder sends mail from one address to another.

  

• Use Email then Email Forwarders in Webuzo.
• Fill in the source address and the destination.
• Avoid loops and test with a message.
