How to set a Default Email Address in cPanel

The default or catch-all address is the one to which all e-mails, addressed to a non-available or mistakenly entered email account at your domain name are routed to. In case someone sends an email to info@yourdomain.com and you do not have such mailbox, the catch-all option will forward this email to your default email address.

Step 1: Click on the Default Address icon on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

  • From the Advanced Options you can discard all unrouted mail, pipe it to a program or forward it to the system account.
