Forwarders, Aliases & Auto-Replies

Set up email forwarders, aliases, catch-all addresses, and automatic replies for your domain in hPanel to route Hostinger mail without extra mailboxes.

Route and shape your domain's mail without extra mailboxes. All four tools live in the sidebar under your email domain, and can also be created from a mailbox's row actions on the Mailboxes page.

How many forwarders and aliases you get depends on your plan — free plans include one of each; paid plans include more. See Mailboxes → View limits for your numbers.

Forwarders

Redirect incoming mail from one address to another — including addresses on other domains.

1. Open Forwarders under your email domain.

2. Pick the source mailbox and the destination address.

3. Save.

A forwarder requires an active mailbox to forward from. Editing a forwarder's source mailbox affects all forwarders created for that mailbox.

Aliases

An alias is a secondary address for an existing mailbox — you can send and receive as the alias, and everything lands in the primary inbox. Aliases share the mailbox's storage.

1. Open Email Alias under your email domain.

2. Pick the mailbox and the alias address.

3. Save.

Use aliases for role addresses (billing@, support@) that one person handles, without paying for extra mailboxes.

Catch-all

A catch-all receives mail sent to any address on your domain that doesn't exist — typos, guessed addresses, retired mailboxes.

1. Open Catch-all email under your email domain.

2. Choose the existing mailbox that should receive stray mail.

3. Save.

Tip: Catch-alls collect a lot of spam by nature. Point one at a dedicated mailbox you review occasionally, not your primary inbox.

Automatic replies

Out-of-office and similar autoresponders:

1. Open Automatic Reply under your email domain.

2. Pick the mailbox, write a subject and body — plain text or HTML with a preview.

3. Start immediately or on a start date; end on a date or Never end.

4. Save.

Each sender receives the automatic reply once after they email you, not on every message.
