Delete email forwarder destinations

DELETE /api/v2/shared-hosting/{accountId}/email-forwarders/{address}

Remove destination bindings from a shared-hosting email forwarder, or remove a discard/noreply binding.

{address} can be a literal source address such as info@example.com 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.
