Supported file formats
Before you can import e-mail forwarders, you must make sure that the information is in a format that cPanel supports. You can use comma-separated values files (commonly referred to as CSV files) or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (XLS) files to import your data.
To import a list of e-mail forwarders, follow these steps:
- In the Mail section of the cPanel home screen, click Import Addresses/Forwarders.
- Under Step 1, click Forwarders.
- Under Step 2, click , and then select the file that you want to use for the import process.
- If you are importing a CSV file, click the delimiter that your file uses under Step 3. The delimiter is often, but not always, a comma.
- Under Step 3, select the Treat first row as column headers check box if you want cPanel to ignore the first row of data in your file.
- Click .
- Under Step 1, select the correct headers for your data:
- Ignore: cPanel ignores the entire column of data.
- Source: cPanel interprets the column as the source e-mail address.
- Target: cPanel interprets the column as the destination e-mail address.
- Click .
- Review the information to make sure that it is correct, and then click to import the data.
