email forwarding batch creation

[Cheong]

I am now making migration from CPanel to Plesk for my web site.

Since we have more than hundreds of users using email forwarding in my previous system (CPanel), it is very redundant and hard job to input the email forwarding again for the hundred emails.

I can download the email forwarding list from CPanel.
Can any body tell me how to upload / create email forwarding in a batch in Plesk?

Thanks very much!
Cheong

Cheong,

i'm afraid there is no way 'to just tell Plesk to use this file'
forwarding cannot be transferred this way.
but i know that command line utilities can do this, in other words special command can turn this option on, look what i found:
http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.2/Doc/plesk-8.2-unix-cli/39181.htm

so, you can design a script that will look into this file and will execute command that will configuring forwarding on mail box.

Dear Tiramisu

You have give me a great hand. I believe this will help me to create emails easily and manage create an online email update easily.

However, when I try to access the utility, it seems that the utilities is not found in the utility folders:

From the Overview of the document("Plesk 8.2 for Linux/Unix CLI Reference") (http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.2/Doc/plesk-8.2-unix-cli/index.htm), it saids there should be a package "plesk-api-cli" installed and the utilities files can be find in the folder "/usr/local/psa/bin/"

However, the said utilities is not found in the folder but some other files.:

$ ls -la /usr/local/psa/bin/mail

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Oct 4 02:13 /usr/local/psa/bin/mail -> /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-cli/mail.php


If I enter the "mail" command directly in my home folder, it seems not the command:

$ mail --help
mail: invalid option -- -
Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ...
[- sendmail-options ...]
mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
mail [-iInNv] [-u user]

I would be grateful if you know the about it.

Thanks very much!
Cheong

Hi Cheong,

i suppose you have rpm based OS.
i think, firstly, you need to check whether packages plesk-api-cli are installed or not. you can use rpm -q command;
if not, probably they can be found at Plesk distributive, or at http://swdn.swsoft.com

and try to follow these steps:
http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.2/Doc/plesk-8.2-unix-cli/37894.htm

utilities can be run with './name'
