Set mail forwarding with SQL command line

Let's say you have an existing mail user user@domain.com, and you want to forward all received emails to another address forward@example.com, to achieve this, you can login to SQL server and update vmail database like below:

USE vmail;
INSERT INTO forwardings (address, forwarding,
                         domain, dest_domain,
                         is_forwarding, active)
                 VALUES ('user@domain.com', 'forward@example.com',
                         'domain.com', 'example.com',
                         1, 1);

If you want to forward email to multiple addresses, please create more records like above:

USE vmail;

-- Forwarding to address 'forward-2@example.com'
INSERT INTO forwardings (address, forwarding,
                         domain, dest_domain,
                         is_forwarding, active)
                 VALUES ('user@domain.com', 'forward-2@example.com',
                         'domain.com', 'example.com',
                         1, 1);

-- Forwarding to address 'forward-3@example.com'
INSERT INTO forwardings (address, forwarding,
                         domain, dest_domain,
                         is_forwarding, active)
                 VALUES ('user@domain.com', 'forward-3@example.com',
                         'domain.com', 'example.com',
                         1, 1);

To save a copy of forwarded email in mailbox, please add your own email address as a forwarding destination like below:

INSERT INTO forwardings (address, forwarding,
                         domain, dest_domain,
                         is_forwarding, active)
                 VALUES ('user@domain.com', 'user@domain.com',
                         'domain.com', 'domain.com',
                         1, 1);
