Yes, but there still is no way to automate giving your customer/client
(whomever) a "host administrator" account so they can maintain their own
individual domain email accounts. I don't want to get a phone call every
time they want to setup a new email address. I'd rather run a single setup
script that:
1) Creates a new domain
2) Apply a "template" of default/common settings to the domain
3) Creates a host administrator account (or not)
4) Creates users and/or aliases (or not)
Blah blah blah.
We were planning on writing one of these but I found out that iMail doesn't
office an API for us to talk to. I don't want to call their cgi scripts
because I don't have control over what they do and they offer limited
functionality.
Please IPSWITCH provide this API/COM to us... Please! Seattle Labs does! Be
open!
If ANYONE else has a viable solution, please let us all know about it.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Auto-setup of domains
adddomain.exe and adduser.exe is the key to solve your problem.
and I use ASPexec From www.serverobjects.com to executes those exe.
It's great solution. instead just send an email to the server, just call a
webpage. for security issue, that page better do a query from a database to
determine which domain to add and which user to add to what domain.

half price hosting has developed a completely automated account creation
system,
including virtual www domain and imail account.
However I doubt that they would be willing to tell you much about how they
accomplish this!
