This is somewhat dependant on the email server (MTA) you are running and how it is set to authenticate users. If using linux/unix, sometimes all that is required is for you to create an account is to add the entry in the /etc/passwd, and create a home directory. This you can easily do with a PHP a script. Some MTAs like Postfix allow you to store your users in a mySQL database. This in turn allows you to create a php based web admin interface to your mysql user authentication table.
If you want other alternatives outside of php, you can look into QmailAdmin ( http://inter7.com/qmailadmin/ ) if you are using Qmail, or Webmin which is a awesome web based administration tool ( http://www.webmin.com ) Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Bjornie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 11:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Creating mailaccounts Hi everybody! I have a problem :/ I just said yes to a project, which includes webmail. I know how to send mail and how to receive mail with imap, but can I in any way create a mailaccount on the server by using PHP? Or should I use any other language like Java/JSP or ASP (with a component)?` Hilfe! :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
