automated email account creation

automated email account creation.
who it right?

Ben Nykiel: is it easy to have Automated email account creation on my web site, as in a member joins and I can just have a script that creates them an email address?

Rob: Unfortunaly this is not possible I'm sorry to say that you can create the email accounts only manually


Ben Nykiel: so when I go to a site that creates an email address automatically, is their email server locally hosted or do they create a script that loges in to the cpanel and just navigates through the site automatically?

Rob: In order to have such website you will need custom developed script and unfrtunately there is no ready made solution for that.


Ben Nykiel: But I could theoretically create a PHP script that would do it, right?

Rob: I'm sorry to say that this is not possible since you will need to create the accounts in cPanel firstr


Ben Nykiel: I know, but couldn’t I create a script that would navigate through cpanel?

Rob: Unfortunately it is not possible to do that with a script


Ben Nykiel: why not

Rob: Unfortunately cPanel does not includes this feature


Ben Nykiel: can't you just have the script login

Ben Nykiel: through the front door


Rob: Unfortunately it is not possible to integrate cpanel with PHP Script. cPanel is third party application that does not allow customization. Therefore it is not technically possible to integrate php script with PHP. I'm sorry to say that the only way is to create the email accounts manually

well you CAN create a PHP script and you CAN run it on your server. If coded correctly it SHOULD simply talk to your mail server extensions and create accounts etc...Ive never used cPanel so i dont know how controlling it is, all i can say is it CAN be done with PHP, but i dont know whether cPanel would let you do it....

Are you on shared or a VPS? Either way you can do it, I wouldn't be able to give you good intructions on a shared server, but on a VPS you should be able to do it easily.
