Hey folks,
this is Stefan from Germany,
I have access to my Direct Admin panel over my webhosting provider for a managed webhosting tier.
I've been searching for a solution for the following, and wonder if there is an easy solution I could propose to my webhosting provider, as I've asked but they couldn't easily help me with my issue.
I am looking for a way to automate the creation and update process of email forwarders without the need to use the Direct Admin panel manually to enter or update all the data.
As I have no access to the API, and my webhosting provider cannot program this for me or find a solution for a reasonable fee,
I wonder if there is an elegant or clever way or workaround to solve this issue.
Let's say I need to add 50 email forwarders each week,
is there a shell command I could use that would mimic the data entering process, perhaps by using files or filenames in a specified folder are "source" and "destination" addresses for the email forwarders and let a cronjob do the task of extracting the data and adding new forwarders and, if already present, update the existing entries?
Perhaps a big stretch, but who knows, perhaps there is a scripting guru here that knows how to do it, if this is possible at all.
Kind regards,
Stefan
