Is there any IMAP/POP3 API/Modules of Linux email system (Sendmail) written
in PHP?
I am looking for API to write a signup page for users.

Have looked through it already. None of them allows me to add/delete users

Most mailserver use the users that exist on the mail server. An mail user is also an
regular user (Althru most of them get an fake shell)
. To add, modify or delete such user you need root privilegde. Webserver such as
Apache run with a user nobody (or similair) which have as less access to the system as
possible.
Because php is than also running as user 'nobody'. And then you can't add, modify or
delete users.
If you still want to build a mailuser webinterface, here's how to do-it:
- first make sure only 'localhost' can access the site. Use an port different from
'80'.
To edit the /etc/passwd there's a file in the php4 source directory /pear/files. This
file is called 'Passwd.php' which you can use to edit the /etc/passwd and similair
files..
Because every mail server have it own config files, it's not possible to create an
'generic' API. I advise you to download some other web-interfaces for sendmail
so you can see how they're handling the files.
Good luck.

Sounds like a cyrus-imap extension for imap (which allows many
authentication methods, most of which don't need system-level users)
would be a good thing.

Never did have the time to commit it though, as its still in development
(well, not currently, but when I get some free time :).

I have a suggestion: You could use procmail and if you had a mailserver like
exim. Set up a list of aliases and then have them all forward into 1 account
then the procmailrc file in that one account sends the info to various files
or users. To add and delete users all you would have to do is make php write
to a aliases file and a procmailrc file, which would be easy enough.
