How did you create the email forwarders?
Do you get any bounce back or error message to gmail?

Open the file /etc/valiases/domainname.com and check if the forwarders are there.

Note: Replace domainname.com by the actual domain name.

how i created :
first i opened Cpanel >>> Mail >>> Forwarders >>> Clicked on [ Add Forwarder ]
then i added : admin@mydomain.com to my username@gmail.com and finally clicked on "Add Forwarder" then i got message :

All email sent to admin@mydomain.com will now be redirected to username@gmail.com

but when i try to send email on : admin@mydomain.com its not being forwarded to my gmail......


I have not received any bounce back or error message to my gmail

If the issue reoccurs or if there is any future difficulty with e-mail forwarding or general e-mail sending and delivery attempts, please check the Exim mail server log to see both prior SMTP activity as well as to monitor current SMTP activity as it is happening. Some examples of the data Exim will log include both locally-delivered e-mails in addition to forwarded e-mails and also bounced messages and related errors. Viewing the log data will help to determine where the issue might be and will help verify if the recipient mail sever accepted the e-mail or not. It is possible that the (forwarded) e-mail may be accepted by the recipient's mail server but held in a queue pending delivery at a later time or after additional processing; this also depends on the recipient's mail server configuration and applicable Spam or other filtering criteria used by the third-party mail service (e.g., Gmail).

Here is the Exim log file path:

/var/log/exim_mainlog

Here is a command that can be used to safely view the file via root SSH access:

# less /var/log/exim_mainlog

Here is a command that can be used to monitor for new log messages, such as before and during any testing of e-mail forwarders; new log output will be displayed on-screen:

# tail -fvn0 /var/log/exim_mainlog
