How do I forward outgoing email?

[2 Grey Star Level]

I’d like to forward all outgoing email from a specific email address on my domain and copy it to another address on my domain. I can’t use the Forwarders or Filters features, because those are only for incoming email. How can I setup a filter/forward on an email account so that all email sent from that account will be copied to another email?

Answer #1

Hello,

I hope this comment finds you well!

That feature is unfortunately not currently available in cPanel/SiteAdmin. Because of that, there would be no way to do this on any of our managed services.

However, you may be able to do this on our unmanaged services when they become available. For more information about our unmanaged VPS services, please see the following link…

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we hope that you are able to find a solution that will work for you.

Yes, I realize that there are no admin panel functions that do this, but there are ways to do it manually, for example, using exim. See here: http://forums.cpanel.net/f43/hidden-copies-incoming-outgoing-emails-201801.html#post828491

What I’d like to know is, since SiteAdmin is based on cPanel, can I use these same exim hacks to do it, or is there something that would prevent this? Does Site5 use exim?

Hello,

I looked into that same solution, but unfortunately because that requires modifications to the root EXIM filters file, it would not be an option on any of our managed products.

However, you would be able to use that solution on our unmanaged VPS products once they become available.

Once again we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
