Forward to your system account “xxx”

[Carl-Johan Larsson]

Hi,
If I have posted this in the wrong forum, I'm sorry.

So, there is one thing I simply don't understand in cpanel.

I don't understand how my system account works.

For example, I have a default address set to "Forward to your system account “xxx”".

I have set up an email address that is called [email protected]

But still, I don't get the emails from the "catch-all" to that email account.

Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Hey there! in general, you shouldn't use the main "[email protected]" address for actual work, as that is used by the system for processing. I'd recommend either sending the unrouted mail to a specific address with the "Forward to address" option, or using the "Discard" option so it doesn't get handled at all.

Hi cPRex, thanks for taking the time and answering this.

I get that and it makes sense, however, there are messages being sent to this, so how do I read them?

In cPanel >> Email Accounts you should see the username account with a blue button labeled "system" next to it. You can click the "check email" button to the right of that account to view those messages.
