Email forwarding to and send from main domain mail
Hi all,
I'm at the early stage of setting up domain mails. Need help for some basic setup.
1) Want to set up user1@company, user2@company...etc, at the same time incoming mails to all these users will send to example@company. How to set up that user1@company can send as user1@company, and example@company can also see the mail send by user1@company?
2) In this scenario, what to do so that example@domain can see incoming mails label as addressing to user1 / user2 /user3 originally?
3) I have not set up mail yet, so any suggestion on which is preferable for this, outlook? gmail?
4) How to avoid taking up precious server disk space?

The inbound mail can be forwarded without issue by setting up a simple forwarder in cPanel>>Email>>Forwarders There are a couple of options for the outgoing mail:- Create an exim system filter rule for the email accounts you want the outbound mail forwarded. Something like the following might work:
if first_deliveryand ("$h_from:" contains "user1@company.com") and not ("$h_X-Spam-Checker-Version:" begins "SpamAssassin") then unseen deliver "example@company.com" endif
- Utilize the Email Archiving feature available in cPanel which archives all emails sent/received from user accounts. This would require WHM access to enable though. If you do have WHM access you can go to WHM>>Server Configuration>>Tweak Settings -> Enable Email Archiving Support. Once that's done you can configure it in cPanel>>Email>>Archive
- Documentation on this feature can be found here: Archive - Version 84 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

A forwarder would do this, it would display in the box as being addressed to the initial user3) I have not set up mail yet, so any suggestion on which is preferable for this, outlook? gmail?
That's entirely a personal preference, we offer Roundcube and Horde webmail clients and you are able to use most widely available pop/imap clients for email.4) How to avoid taking up precious server disk space?
The number 1 way to do this would be to have all mail users connect using POP3 and download mail off the server.0 - Create an exim system filter rule for the email accounts you want the outbound mail forwarded. Something like the following might work:

Hello, Finally try this. However since we are with shared hosting plan, neither WHM nor the above option is possible.
Unfortunately, for the exim system filter/forwarder option there is not for outbound mail, though it will be effective for inbound mail and can be used without WHM access (just for the global email filter). If your provider has enabled archiving support you might look further into that option as when it is enabled it does not require WHM access.0
