Setting up emails to forward and delete automatically

The developers at cPanel removed the aging option in the latest version. However, you actually don’t need to have the email address setup in Mail > Add/Remove/Manage Accounts.

For example, let’s say you want any emails that goes to sales@yourdomain.com to forward to you@gmail.com. You don’t have to set up sales@yourdomain.com in Mail > Add/Remove/Manage Accounts.

Just go into cPanel > Mail > Forwarders > Add Forwarder.

In the first box you would enter ‘sales’ and then you would select the correct domain (if you have more than one domain set up). In the second box you enter you@gmail.com.

Now, when someone emails sales@yourdomain.com, the email will be forwarded to you@gmail.com. This way, nothing will be sitting on the server taking up space and you won’t have to worry about cleaning up old emails.
