Friends, I am very interested in this matter of scripting forwards.. my situation is ...simpler because I have a postfix server that I will be replacing with the qmailtoaster.
but ( alas ) my understanding of where to start with such a script is fuzzy . ( i have written a script to add users ) my Q would be where would such a thing as groupname member1, member2, member3 get written? when you create a forward via the GUI ... what text file / db is being changed? and can a mere mortal just VI that? how? where? thanks js > James F.
