Email Routing is a cPanel feature that allows you to manage how and where emails are sent to your domains.

  1. Logged into your cPanel, select "Email Routing" in the Email section.


    You can route the emails that will come to your inbox to another server, for example. First, select the domain you will change the configuration to.


    You can use the "Automatically detect configuration" option so it will be configured according to the configuration shown in the image below.



    Note: if the MX input is not functional, this configuration will not be effective

  2. You can select from 3 other options on how emails should behave.

    • Local email exchanger: The server will always accept emails for this domain. The system will deliver emails to the local mailbox.

    Mail Exchanger Backup: The server will act as a backup, receiving messages until a lower priority MX becomes available; * Remote Mail Exchanger: the server will not accept emails for this domain, sending all messages to the mail exchanger with the lowest number. -After selecting the desired option, simply click on change, the selected option will always appear in bold.
