SOLVED How to set up DOT email forwards

[MadDogDean]

Hey all,

Real simple question. How can I setup a forwarder using either "." or "+" (doesn't matter to us). Basically I want to setup so that I just create . or + email addys on the fly and they get where they should (mainly to prevent spam/selling of emails) - but I don;t want to have to create individual forwarders for all of these.

For example, I have the following email account, [email protected].
I want to forward all mail sent to [email protected] or [email protected] to be forwarded to [email protected]
All mail sent to [email protected], [email protected] to be forward to [email protected]

I looked through the cPanel docs but couldn't find anything. My hosting suggested to try adding a forwarder like bob.*@mydomain.com, but this didn't work, the email was just delivered to the CatchAll address.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers, MadDogDean

Hey there! I guess I'm not completely sure what you're trying to do. Are you wanting to setup a wildcard email forwarder for work.*.domain.com so those all go to bob and then home.*.domain.com so those all go to myemail? If so, this is an older thread, but it's still relevant to what you're trying to set up:

forwarding emails by wildcards like Gmail does

Hello, I need to create a wildcard forwarding to forward emails sent to [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] to [email protected] I found this thread but it's old... I'm going to choose...

forums.cpanel.net

Let me know if that filter option helps!

Hey cPRex, thanks for that. There was another link in the link you sent that exactly answered what I was trying to do.

I guess I was focused on figuring out how to do it using Forwarders instead of Filters (couldn't see the forest with all those trees in the way!!)

Cheers
