Hi, I've got several subdomains created for a main domain like this: sb1.company.com sb2.company.com sb3.company.com I also have emails created for each subdomain: contact@sb1.company.com contact@sb2.company.com contact@sb3.company.com I'd like to set each email as a default address for each subdomain without manually going through the process in cPanel one by one. Is there a script or easy way to achieve that? Thanks!

  Hey there! Can you get me more details on the setup you're working with? Is each one of those subdomains a unique cPanel account? If so, you could use the following API to set the address for each account:

  After re-reading that API documenation, it would still work well but you would just need to add the option "domain" flag so it knows the specific subdomain you are working with. This could then be scripted to loop through a text file and setup the preference(s) of your choice.

  So you say that, there is a way but I have to write my own script to do that.

  That's correct. The API call would let you do it for one account at a time, but you'd need to create a custom script if you wanted it to loop through the accounts on the server.

  Ok, I'll figure out something. Thanks a lot!
