If you handle a domain,earlier or later you are limited to get e-mail at your domain for an address that does not available. Most of time this e-mail comes from spammers, wondering that \u201cabc123@domainname.com\u201d might be a practical current e-mail address at your domain. It might also come from someone mistyping the first aspect of your genuine e-mail address.
\nThe default email address will always are available on cPanel at this time, but you can modify the behaviour for the default email address to not have e-mails go to it straight on account creation.
\nOption-1<\/strong>\u00a0you can do it\u00a0in WHM > Tweak Settings > Initial default\/catch-all forwarder destination area.
\n\"Default<\/a>
\nYou could change it to “Fail” rather than the “System account default” selection, then click the “Save” button there.
\nOption-2\u00a0<\/strong>cPanel manages this e-mail through the Default Address page.
\n\"Default<\/a>
\nThis Default Address Maintenance page\u00a0gives us all the options to handle non-routable incoming mail to your domain.
\nDiscard with error to sender:<\/strong>
\nThis is the standard option. Any email sent to a non-existent email address is bounced back to the sender with a message. Since this informs the sender that the message was not delivered.
\nForward to email address:<\/strong>
\nThis option forwards these types of emails\u00a0to another e-mail address of your choice. You will have to check this address every so often to make sure that you are not missing email.
\nForward to your system account:<\/strong>
\nThis option sends unrouteable email to the cPanel user\u2019s default e-mail account. This address has the same username as the cPanel account.
\nThe benefit to sending email to this address is that any genuine e-mail that may have been sent to a mistyped address is stored in this account. The disadvantage is that if it is not checked often, the account could fill with junk and run up against the domain\u2019s email or disk space quotas.
\nPipe to a program:<\/strong>
\nThis choice directs unrouteable email to a program of your choice. This gives you a lot of flexibility: you can do to this kind of email whatever can be programmed.
\nDiscard:<\/strong>
\nThis option discards unrouteable email without informing the sender or you directly. The benefit to this is that no junk ever strikes the server, AND the spammer gets no verification one way or another that email is being sent to the address. The disadvantage is that it is likely that genuine e-mail would be removed without caution if the sender uses the incorrect e-mail address. Because of this possibility, cPanel alerts that this option is \u201cnot recommended\u201d<\/strong>
\nHopefully this brief article\u00a0will help you to determine the best way to handle unrouteable mail to your domain.
\nI also did a post recently to clear default email account<\/a>\u00a0that can also be helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
