Topic: Bulk addition of accounts and aliases

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.5-1
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: FreeBSD 10.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL

- Related log if you're reporting an issue:

I am migrating some domains from another mail server to an iRedMail server. Both servers use Maildir format, so I think I can just rsync messages over, but what about accounts?

Some domains have dozens of accounts and hundreds of aliases. Is it possible to create these programmatically using MySQL? If so, are there any examples of command syntax?

Thanks!
