Maybe you should try LDAP? You may create a LDAP manager for one
domainname or just for one user. A nice tool is ISPman,
www.freshmeat.net). Just don't forget to use the right scheme and to
patch qmail.

If this is to hard, try to ask your developer to create a query (with
accounting) for MySql and use it in PHP? (this if you use Vpopmail with
MySql :-/ )

Just an id...

Woozy

No, though the idea is very similar.  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.
