in Cpanel,

one is able to create forwardings for email address but I have a unique situation and was wondering if anyone could possibly help me...

created 1 email address - john@xxx.com

now if I enable forwarding using Cpanel like
john@xxx.com forward to mary@yyy.com

when I sent an email to john@xxx.com - 2 copies of the email will exist - one in john@xxx.com mailbox and the other in mary@yyy.com mailbox...

all good and fine by what if I needed

john@xxx.com to be forwarded to mary@yyy.com but I only want mary@yyy.com to received the email, which means that john@xxx.com mailbox should always be empty and is I guess the term to be used would be an alias of mary@yyy.com

Any solutions please ?

Yea, just delete the john@xxx.com email box. You don't need a box to forward the mail. Just leave the forwarder and it will be an alias.

hey .. cool ;) thanks for the information - will be trying it out in the next few minutes...

Yeah... it works ...

thanks again...
