Like per-domain controls, I am looking at a process that allows a certain type of e-mail account to create up to X additional accounts. At the moment, I'm considering some sort of flag that identifies an account as a "master account", and then allows it to create X number of accounts beyond that. This kind of service is offered by larger ISP's (AOL, the defunct and splintered @Home network), and my client has requested this.
There are several ways I can approach this. One would be to create a seperate application which creates allows clients to add/delete e-mail accounts at will, and holds in the information in a seperate database. Another is to modify Vpopmail/QmailAdmin/vQadmin to incorporate this service. I prefer the latter, but the former is probably much simpler. So, if anyone has thoughts on the matter, I'd love to hear about it. -- Steve >Do you mean something other than the .qmailadmin-limits file?
