Email Forwarder Database?

[CooKies37]

hi, i am a new user here... i want to know how to do this:

firstly;
When we go into the Email Forwarder page, we can create a new forwarder by giving two information:
User name: [email protected] (means the name of the forwarder)
Forwarding destination: [email protected]

2;
ok, let say now I have 200 members who also want to register for a forwarder account (which they can choose any user name they like: [email protected]

3;
So, I want create a PHP page to automate this registration process¡K(so that I don¡¦t need to manually key in every members¡¦ details from time to time, and the PHP will automatically create the forwarders for them...)

4;
Finally, I need to know where those Email Forwarder¡¦s information are kept in the server. Or else, I can¡¦t use the PHP to automate this process by updating the forwarders info in the server.


Do you all understand what I mean? I hope you all can provide me information on it.

Thanks.

Forwarders are actually aliases, and can be found at:

/etc/virtual/example.com/aliases

hi, thanks for your reply...

but when i login into directadmin, or use any ftp to login, i can only see the / directory(root directory)...i can't see any /etc directory.

You asked where it was on the server, and I answered.

You're obviously not the server administrator.

Only the server administrator can manage the lists directly. You're stuck administering them through your DirectAdmin control panel logon.

I don't see any way for you to do what you need to do as a site owner.

Anyone else?
