## POST /api/v2/shared-hosting/{accountId}/email-forwarders

**Create email forwarder**

Create an email forwarder inside a shared-hosting account. Use this route only when the source domain is attached to this hosting account; verify that with `GET /api/v2/shared-hosting/{accountId}/domains` before writing. This route manages the hosting account's mail-forwarder bindings and does not enable or replace domain-level email routing. If the customer does not have shared hosting, or this domain is not attached to the hosting account, use `POST /api/v2/domains/{id}/email-forwarding` instead. Send `localPart`, `domain`, and one to twenty destination email addresses.
