cPanel not sending new account data to customers

[Kent Brockman]

hi! I've noted that when I create a new account in whm, and the contact email is other than that defined in the whm contact manager (let0s say, when the contact email is not my email address), users don't receive the new account creation mesage (with the hostname, ftp login, package assigned, etc). Is this something I can define in my settings or a bug in WHM?

I'm running on:

WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.3-S21703
CENTOS Enterprise 4.6 i686 on virtuozzo - WHM X v3.1.0

Only the WHM owner receives new account information. You will need a third party solution as in a billing manager for this.

WHM doesnt send account details out on its own, never has, they leave that up to you

EDIT: Sorry thought i'd got there first - damn viatel and their slow adsl!

U sure? I've convinced/understood that the contact email set when generating a new account receive the notifications when creating/upgrading/terminating that account. How can I workaround this? I need to automate that notifications.


Is there any recommendable freeware billing manager?

Pretty sure

Not sure about freeware, but there is a thread with a list of both free and paid posted by cpaneldavidg I believe?

I'm interested in free packages.

• AHM seems to b e a good solution, but it may lack some features.
• FastPay is not working: http://fastpay.equablehost.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3 and another one from National Westminster Bank Plc is alos closed, www.fastpay.com
• Solid-state is temporarily off.
• PHP COIN is ugly and uneasy of use.

I will stop evaluating the paid services since this isn't the purpose of this thread. If there is any thread about this, I will gladly sum up any comment. Also, a billing manager from cPanel.net would be a nice solution
