Forward all vs default email
I have a forward setup in the forward section of the cPanel to forward all of the emails from my default email address. I have noticed that when I get emails from an address that is not an exact match for any of the addresses it goes to the default account as expected, but this message does not forward. In the forwarding section, there is a way to forward all emails for a domain, but I don't want emails to forward if they are caught by another specific address other than the default. Does this make sense? If so, do you have any suggestions?

Yes, what you wrote makes sense. To put it succinctly, emails aren't being forwarded when the email account doesn't exist. Could you show us a screenshot from the Default Address section of cPanel? 0 -

I don't think this is true. You can have a forward like name@somedomain.com forwarded to name@someotherdoman.com when there is no email account for name@somedomain.com0 -
Hello ! By default, email accounts that do not exist wouldn't be forwarded except to the default address; however, as quietFinn mentioned, you can manually specify a non-existent email to forward. However, it sounds like you instead may want to use a user@example.com address, the following actions will occur: - If a user@example.com address or autoresponder exists, the system will not forward the email.
- If a user@example.com address or autoresponder does not exist, the system will forward the email to user@example1.com.
- Domain forwarders override the settings in cPanel"s
