Re: Email Forwarders

It is not a php issue, it is more a configuration issue for your mail server, most of them use the .forward file to manage email forwarding. You can use the file functions (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php) to read and write this file. It should be fairly simple. Start with <?php echo file_get_contents("/home/yourname/.forward"); ?> then read and write this file (it should contain your forwards already), assuming they are using sendmail like email server You may have read/write permission errors, depending on how the server was configured.

I have a hosted website which uses CPanel. I can login to CPanel and create as many email forwarders as I want. Is there a way I can write a PHP script to manage these email forwarders? For example, somebody registers on my site and they want to be added to the for a certain email address (as an email forwarder). How would I write a script that could access this email forwarders file and insert a new address to it (or delete one if that is the case)? Does anyone know if this can be done. I am trying to use these mail forwarders as a moch mailing list, so when an email is sent to a specific address, it will automatically be distributed to everyone on the forwarding list. Please help if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks, Matt http://sweetphp.com
