Happens if a foreign organization or person sends an email to ‘s admin@yoursite.ir email address that does not exist? Well, of course, you cannot receive this email, cPanel has a very useful feature that allows us to set the default email address for our website domain, so that if someone accidentally sends an email to the wrong email address from our domain.
