RE: [PHP] Creating mailaccounts
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!

Re: [PHP] Creating mailaccounts
Take a look at the exec() and system() functions. -Jason Garber www.ionzoft.com At 08:55 PM 10/2/2001 +0200, Bjornie wrote: >Hi everybody! > >I have a problem :/ >I just said yes to a project, which includes webmail.
