Forward mail (forwarders) in DirectAdmin

Updated on 4 November 20261 min read

Automatically forward mail from one address to one or more other addresses, e.g. support@ to your personal address.

Here's how

  1. Log in to DirectAdmin: open your plan in your client area and click Open DirectAdmin. You're signed in right away.
  2. Go to Email Manager → Forwarders.
  3. Click Create Forwarder.
  4. Enter the address (e.g. support) and the destination (e.g. jan@yourdomain.be). With + Add you forward to several addresses.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Change: click the pencil. Delete: tick it and click Delete.

Faster without DirectAdmin: in DigiPanel you do this under Email → Forwarding addresses.

Special destinations: :fail: returns an error message, :blackhole: silently discards the mail.
