Running the scripts

Add an alias

python ovh_mail_alias_add.py https://github.com/Indigo744/ovh-manage-email-alias-python

Create email alias:
From : github@mydomain.com
To   : my-private-email@pm.me

Continue (ENTER or CTRL+C to cancel)?

Alias created (ID=123456789)

Calling the script without any parameter will ask for your input.

Remove an alias

The following command line will remove the alias we created just before

python ovh_mail_alias_rm.py 123456789

Delete the following alias:
ID    : 123456789
From  : github@mydomain.com
To    : my-private-email@pm.me

Continue (ENTER or CTRL+C to cancel)?

Deleting...

List all aliases

The following command line will list all the aliases.

python ovh_mail_alias_ls.py

ID      From    To
