Delete forwarder using api

[lazzymonk]

Anyone know of the api1 or api2 command to delete an email forwarder in cpanel. i can do everything else i need to do with the api i just cant remove forwarders once they are set.

ps why is there so little documentation on the api? i cant seem to find any at all on api1 commands.

When you are deleting a forward in the cPanel interface with the X3 theme, you are executing .../frontend/x3/mail/dodelfwd.html?email=...

Looking in /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/mail/dodelfwd.html yields the API 1 function:

[HTML]<cpanel Email="delforward($FORM{'email'})">[/HTML]

Where $FORM{'email'} is the email address.

Just so you know, improved API documentation is definitely on our to-do lists .

Thats great thanx.

now another thing on the same subject.

im using urls to interact with the xml api.

http://domain.com:2082/xml-api/cpanel?user=someone&xmlin=<cpanelaction><module>Email</module><func>delforward</func><apiversion>1</apiversion><args>someone@domain.com=some_else@domain.com</args></cpanelaction>

that command works, but it does not return anything.

all i get is

<cpanelresult>
<module>Email</module>
<func>delforward</func>
<type>event</type>
<source>internal</source>
<apiversion>1</apiversion>
<data>
<result/>
</data>
</cpanelresult>

which is the same if it works or not. am i missing an arg to get an output or am i using it in a way it was never intended so lucky to get it working at all?

ps look forward to the better documentation

Looking at the documentation, it appears where you are going wrong is:

someone@domain.com=some_else@domain.com

As far as I can tell, it should just be someone@domain.com (as an email address is the first and apparently only argument passed to this API1 function).

[lazzymonk]

if i send it someone@domain.com
it doesnt delete the forwarder and doesnt give a different response either.

someone@domain.com=some_else@domain.com

is the only way i can get it to delete the forwarder.

im confused. i think i might just have to put up with no real response and find anothre way to verify the forwarder was deleted.

thanx for your help
