How to easily import of ~1000 thousands of email redirections?

Hi,

 

All my domains are managed by OVH but the websites and emails are actually hosted at another provider.

After more than 10 years, now that OVH manages redirections in a better way than back then (seems you don't have to wait hours anymore to have a redirection available), I would like to bring everything back at OVH.

I was very happy to see that OVH proposes to Export as CSV... as I thought that there would be an import function somewhere, right? Well, I can't find it.

So, how can I today, can I import thousands of email redirections at OVH? Is there a hidden import function? An API I could use? Else?

 

Thank you

Philippe

Hello,

Before investing too much time for installing massive redirections, I want to bring to your attention that the process may break SPF. (read: will break)
because currently OVH does not implement ARC or SRS.

Some e-mail would not be forwarded because the SPF policy of the sending domain prohibit that OVH servers initiate the connection to the receiver's e-mail server.

Otherwise, try vith the API : https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=%2Femail%2Fdomain&branch=v1#post-/email/domain/-domain-/redirection
