Description
When an account is over its disk quota, cPanel cannot create the temporary files needed to modify the forwarders. However, there is no feedback in the "Forwarders" interface indicating that an issue was encountered.
We've opened an internal case for our development team to investigate this further. For reference, the case number is CPANEL-41965. Follow this article to receive an email notification when a solution is published in the product.
Workaround
Increase the account's disk quota, then delete the forwarder.
