Cannot Create A Forwarder To My Main Account

[dlevens]

my default email account is: myuserid@server74.totalchoicehosting.com

 

I am trying to setup a forwarder like this myuserid@**** >>> myuserid

 

but it does not create. I can set any other email I want to forward to myuserid but not myuserid@****?

 

Anyone know why this is? Can someone test this on their account? Just create a forwarder of [yourcpaneluserid]@server[yournumber].totalchoicehosting.com >>> yourcpaneluserid

Your default e-mail account is actually youruserid@******, so you are basicly trying to forward that account to itself

I originally thought the same but that does not seem to be true. I was told by helpdesk that if I want to email my default account I would email

myuserid@server74.totalchoicehosting.com

 

I verified this by emailing myuserid@**** and the email goes to whatever email I specified in my catchall. Since I have that set to blackhole then I dont get the email. As soon as I changed the catchall email to an account then any email sent to myuserid@**** goes there. Which happens with any email address that is not defined as a forwarder or does not exist as a mailbox.

If I understand you correctly, this is what you are wanting to do:

 

cpanel_id@domain.com -> cpanel_id@server##.totalchoicehosting.com

 

Is that correct?

 

If so, then use cpanel_id@server##.totalchoicehosting.com in the forwarder instead of just cpanel_id
