Remove destination bindings from a shared-hosting email forwarder, or remove a discard/noreply binding. {address} can be a literal source address such as [email protected] or the efwd_... ID returned by the hosting forwarder list. To remove specific forwarding destinations, send destinations in the JSON body or as a comma-separated query parameter. To remove every current binding for the source address, omit destinations; the API will read the existing forwarder and remove all of its current destinations. For a discard forwarder returned with action: "discard", send { "action": "discard" } or ?action=discard. This does not delete domain-level email-forwarding rules under /api/v2/domains/{id}/email-forwarding.
