Delete many, like many forwarders

[Carl-Johan Larsson]

I have many (many) forwarders.

I host +100 domains that each has +100 emails and over the years, we have added forwarders to many external systems.

I understand that I cant remove forwarders (bulk) in cPanel, but there has to be a workaround.

Let's say I want to delete all forwarders to [email protected], or [email protected], how can I do that?

The forwarders are saved in:

/etc/valiases/domainname

Where "domainname" is the domain name of the account the forwarders are created.

Hi
you can empty the file /etc/valiases/domainname

That will delete all forwarders for the specific domain.

That file also can contain the default address information, so completely clearing or deleting that file may lose that info, such as:

:fail: No Such User Here

So you may want to take care when removing any info from the file unless you want to go back and reconfigure the default address for those email accounts.
