Config

The domain to administer is required. If it is not given, the program will prompt for it. For faster use you can pass it on the command line with the above option or copy example_galias.ini to galias.ini and edit it with your information.

In addition, the script must be registered in the Google Developer console for your domain, and the client_secrets.json file must be present.

List specific alias

./galias.py list name@domain.com

Add new alias to forward name@domain.com to other@email.com
