E-mail Forwarders in LPCP

From Lunarpages Web Hosting Wiki

An e-mail forwarder allows somebody to send mail to one specific address, while it really gets delivered to another e-mail address (or e-mail addresses). The process of setting up an e-mail forwarder in LPCP is a fairly basic one, however it can be a little difficult for some to locate, so I thought I would take some time to explain exactly how it is done. This is how you would setup an e-mail forwarder in the LPCP control panel.

Step 1 - Create an E-Mail Address

Login to your LPCP control panel for your web hosting account, and click on the E-mail Accounts link.

Click on the "Add New" link to add a new e-mail account, (the default settings will do) and then save. Once your e-mail account has been created, click on the "Edit" link next to that e-mail address on the E-mail Accounts page.

Step 2 - Edit that E-mail Address

That should take you back to a screen where you can edit the preferences for that specific e-mail address. To turn it into a forwarder, all you need to do is copy and paste an e-mail address into the the text box marked "Forward".

Step 3 - Setup Your E-mail Address to Forward To

Input the e-mail address (or if you want to forward to multiple e-mail addresses, be sure to separate them with a comma) you wish to forward e-mail from that address to, and then hit the, "Submit" button.

Now when somebody e-mails you at the e-mail forwarder address, it should forward all the e-mails to the person or persons you setup for the address to forward to. For example if the e-mail address was fakemail@mydomain.com and you wanted to send e-mails sent to that address to each of your own staff members, you would input each of the e-mail addresses, and separate them with commas.
