Manually setting up email fowarders

[Matt Smith]

How would one manually create email forwarders rather than going through cPanel? I'm sure there is going to be a config file somewhere but I am having problems locating one. Any help would be appreciated.

Forwarders are located here in a file per domain:
/etc/valiases/domain.com

If you have a VPS you can install this free script and create & edit mail forwarders & much more:

ConfigServer Mail Manage (cmm): http://www.configserver.com/cp/cmm.html

This is an exclusive! and free! add-on product for cPanel/WHM. The product provides you with an interface to the cPanel user accounts email configuration without having to login to their accounts. It is domain based rather than account based and allows you to do all the following from within WHM:

* View, edit and delete email accounts
* View, edit and delete email forwarders
* View, edit and delete email filters
* View and modify email account quotas
* Modify email account passwords

Additionally, on servers using the cPanel maildir format with the courier mail system, you can also:

* List email account space used based on percentage of quota
* List email account space usage based on mailbox size
* List only email accounts that are overquota (or over a specified percentage)
* List only email accounts that are over a specified size
* View the total number of emails in an email account
* Empty an email account
* View emails in an email account
* Individually delete emails in an email account
