I am not sure if this is a question for CPanel or for the server itself, but I figured I would try here first.
We have just recently moved to a new server that uses CPanel. So far, I am really liking it.
My main problem is that on our old server, we had a file that held all of the email redirect information for each site. We were able to create a php script that allowed the site administrators for each site to add email forwarders as needed, without having to access the control panel for the server/site.
I have searched and searched and cannot find where CPanel stores this information. Is it in a file (the last one used a file called .redirect that was located in the home directory of each site)? Is it stored in a database somewhere?
I am freaking out thinking that I am going to have to take over handling all these forwarders again. Each of our sites has a number of managers and moderators and we give them all an email forward to receive mail to, so they do not have to give out their personal email address for business purposes. We are talking about a LOT of redirects, with a lot of regular changes, as mods and managers from each site step down and step up
If anyone can direct me to where we can manipulate these addresses OUTSIDE of CPanel, you would be seriously making my life so much easier! I cannot give CPanel access to each site admin (we currently have 20!) because that is just too many hands in the pot. And since we are an NPO, our staff is too stretched as it is to have one person handling a mammoth job like this.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, even if it is just pointing me in another direction!
Warmest Regards,
Heather
