I know it's possible to create new mail users with the `create_mail_user_SQL.sh` script, but I'd also like to create new mail domains from the command line.
I've successfully created a new mail domain with:
USE vmail;
INSERT INTO domain (domain, transport, settings, created, active)
VALUES ('example.com', 'dovecot', 'default_user_quota:256;', NOW(), '1');
However, the documentation for the `create_mail_user_SQL.sh` script at https://docs.iredmail.org/sql.create.mail.user.html suggests to "create a new mail domain name with iRedAdmin first". So, I guess creating a new mail domain from the command line may be more complex than my simple SQL statement.
Is that correct or will the SQL statement above suffice?
Many thanks, Steve.
