Hi All,


Is it possible that we create a virtual email account(no physical existence)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] will be automatically forwarded to the real email account 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it achievable using PHP ? Please throw some light as this

in the server configuration software (eg PLESK or cPAnel) you can create 
email address that just redirect as soon as an email is sent to them, so 
Im not sure where PHP ties in, but this could be what you are looking for?

Hi

I think i've been misunderstood here. I meant whether this is achievable
using PHP or not? I  know and can be done very easily on server with either
control panel or manual intervene but its integration with PHP is my main
concern. I hope you understand what i mean.


Thanks,
Binay

It's probably do-able in B - all you're doing is feeding a data stream from 
the MTA to a program.

If, however, you're doing it without involving and MTA, you may have problems.

What you described here is called MAIL FORWARDING or often MAIL ALIASSING.

It is a functionality of your mail server.

Contact your ISP for assistance on setting this up. If you run your own mail
server look at the docs.

If you want to use PHP for this (not recommended because the mail server can
do it already) you need to write a script which check email on one account
and then email it to the other accounts.

Asking if this task is possible in php doesn't make this a php 
question, or even remotely php related.  This is basic mail server 
functionality.


Hey, I want to change the oil in my car, is this possible in PHP?

you want someone else to check the manual for you to see if there is a
function called
create_fully_functional_email_alias_for_addr_regardless_of_whether_you_control_either_domain($alias,
 $email) ?




Your meaning to lazily ask very vague questions (in a manner unbefitting
the subject matter, using made-up terminology, while professing to be a
professional) in the hope that some is going to spoonfeed you a complete
solution which you can then roll out to your customer (probably my
customer until he got the braindead idea to outsource) in five minutes flat;
if I understand you correctly.

I dare you to ask a real php question, with sample code and stuff.




Thanks,
Binay

Binay,

I guess you could set up PHP to listen on port 25 and rewrite the
headers of mail messages containing aliases, but that seems like a lot
of work for what could easily be handled by a (much quicker) MTA.
