Hi,
I can not get email forwarding to work.
If I receive an email and access it via Squirrelmail or Roundcube, I can see the email, but using the forward function does nothing. I can compose and send an email successfully.

If I set up forwarding in the cPanel emails do not forward either.

Really need to get forwarding working, but am having no luck after spending a week of trying various options.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

So you've done the above and hit the "Add Forwarder" button,
yet nothing is showing up at the destination address?

Maybe the other end is putting the emails into a spam folder?

Gmail, Hotmail etc are notorious for that.

Hi,
Yes, done exactly as your screenshot.

I've tried forwarding to both my work and private emails, both of which are ISP based, not webmails. My emails both receive an email sent from the account when using Roundcube, it just wont send if I forward it. checked all the trash/junk/spam folders etc. I cant help thinking something is screwed up on my x10 account, so I have deleted account, will wait 72 hours and create account fresh.
The site I am creating is still WIP so not super critical timewise, which means I can wait till later in the week to continue.

So, I have created a brand new account and still can not get this to work. Is it just me or does this feature not work?

Also, when I press "TRACE" I get a blank result. Should I not get something?

I'd set-up up a test example, but my allowed 3 emails are in use via POP. :(

Thanks guys.

@lylex10h its 'reports.x10host.com'

I've tried going down a different path than pipe to a program and have set up a cron job to check for emails. Not really they way I want to do it, rather the email arrive and trigger the script. Problem with this is I'm getting an error when I use 'imap_open()'

Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream xo5.x10hosting.com:993 in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxxx.php on line 39
imap connection error

The parameters for imap_open were sourced from mail configuration page. The above is just the latest error with experimenting with the address/user/password combinations.

is imap_open available to free hosting?

Just cant seem to win!

It appears there is no SPF record for reports.x10host.com . In cPanel go to the Mail box and then Email Authentication. You should be able to enable it there.

Thanks Lylex10h, that enabled the email to be forwarded. Awesome advice.

Do you have the imap extension enabled in "Select PHP Version"?

I also saw a reply

"This appears to be an issue on x05

telnet x05.x10hosting.com 993
Connecting To x05.x10hosting.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 993: Connect failed

telnet xo7.x10hosting.com 993
works"

So I just need to change x05 to xo7, or I am stuck on the 05 server and I cant make this happen?

Ignore that reply. That was a typo.

Try localhost:993 or 127.0.0.1:993 (might be some firewall rule about outbound connections even though it's local). I guess try later versions, I'm not a programmer, just know some things.

Mate, this is doing my head in!

localhost:993 or 127.0.0.1:993 same result. Ive even tried without the port#
switch to latest version of PHP, same result, just don't get the Warning, just the "imap Connection error" message.

I installed SquirrelMail with Softaculous using xo7.x10hosting.com with port 993 with SSL/TLS and was able to successfully log in and check an email account for @kolbys.x10host.com . SquirrelMail is just a PHP IMAP client. I would recommend looking over their code.

I guess I should close this thread as the original question re email forwarding has been resolved by enabling SPF records.
I will start a new thread regarding accessing imap with PHP

Thanks again for your help.
