In DirectAdmin there is an option to create forwarding addresses.
The mail received in this mailbox will then be forwarded to the specified address.

To create forwarding e-mail addresses, follow these steps:

Log into DirectAdmin, this can be done by typing the url: http://voorbeelddomein.nl:2222 into your browser address bar.
* replace exampledomain.com with your own domain name.

At "Add Destination" enter the email address where the mail should eventually be sent to.
You will also see an add button, you can use this when you want to add multiple addresses, for example you can easily create multiple forwarding addresses at once, or one forwarding address that forwards to multiple addresses.

Click "Create" to complete it.

All mail then sent to the address you just created will be sent to the email address specified.
