Introduction

An email address must be defined as a forwarding address before it can be used to forward. A user can have multiple forwarding addresses, none or one of them can be active at a time.

Manage forwarding addresses

gam <UserTypeEntity> add forwardingaddress|forwardingaddresses <EmailAddressEntity>
gam <UserTypeEntity> delete forwardingaddress|forwardingaddresses <EmailAddressEntity>

Display forwarding addresses

gam <UserTypeEntity> info forwardingaddress|forwardingaddresses <EmailAddressEntity>
gam <UserTypeEntity> show forwardingaddress|forwardingaddresses
gam <UserTypeEntity> print forwardingaddress|forwardingaddresses [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]

Manage forwarding

gam <UserTypeEntity> forward <FalseValues>
gam <UserTypeEntity> forward <TrueValues> keep|leaveininbox|archive|delete|trash|markread <EmailAddress>

• keep|leaveininbox - Leave the message in the INBOX.
• archive - Archive the message.
• delete|trash - Move the message to the TRASH.
• markread - Leave the message in the INBOX and mark it as read.

Display forwarding

gam <UserTypeEntity> show forward|forwards
gam <UserTypeEntity> print forward|forwards [enabledonly] [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]

• enabledonly - Do not display users with forwarding disabled.

Examples

This will show all active forwards to [email protected].

gam config auto_batch_min 1 csv_output_row_filter "forwardTo:regex:[email protected]" num_threads 5 redirect csv ./UserActiveForwards.csv multiprocess all users print forwards enabledonly

This will show all possible forwards to [email protected].

gam config auto_batch_min 1 csv_output_row_filter "forwardingEmail:regex:[email protected]" num_threads 5 redirect csv ./UserPossibleForwards.csv multiprocess all users print forwardingaddresses

Get a list of all users with forwarding enabled and send that list to a Google Sheet, and use multiprocessing to speed it up a little. Limiting the number of parallel threads to 5 to not be rate-limited by the API.

gam config auto_batch_min 1 num_threads 5 redirect csv ./AllForwards.csv multiprocess all users print forwards enabledonly todrive

Get the same type of list but instead based on a list of staff OUs, where the header in the local file StaffOUs.csv is OU.

gam config auto_batch_min 1 num_threads 5 redirect csv ./StaffForwards.csv multiprocess csvdatafile ous_ns StaffOUs.csv:OU print forwards enabledonly todrive

Show forwarding addresses for all users with forwarding on.

gam config auto_batch_min 1 num_threads 5 redirect csv ./FowardEnabledUsers.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print forward enabledonly
gam redirect csv ./FowardEnabledUsersForwardingAddresses.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv ./FowardEnabledUsers.csv gam user "~User" print forwardingaddresses

Show forwarding addresses that are not your domain for all users with forwarding on.

gam config csv_output_row_drop_filter "forwardTo:regex:yourdomain.com" auto_batch_min 1 num_threads 20 redirect csv ./NonDomainForwards.csv multiprocess redirect stdout - multiprocess redirect stderr stdout all users print forward enabledonly
