cPanel to Forward Copies of Email

Discussion in 'Site & Server Administration' started by yfs1, Aug 18, 2005.

    I just switched another site to Linux, How do I set up email forwarding through cPanel where only a copy is forwarded? In other words, I still want the original email to go to the server (which I pull down with Outlook) but I want a copy of that email to go to a gMail account.

    Thank guys

    I don't feel so bad for not being able to figure this out since it didn't get any replies. ;)

    You need to do it through the mailserver I think - Not cPanel.

    Well, I guess technically I mean the mail server

    For instance to do a basic forward its

    cPanel ---> Mail ---> Forwarders --> Add Forwarder and then you choose the address

    But I believe that forwards the original off the server rather than a copy

    Correct me if I'm wrong

    Set up a regular email address; then set up that user id to forward to another email address under forwarders. All done in cpanel.
