Manually creating new email accounts

[TCSLEA]

A new project I need to tackle is figuring out how to create new user email accounts manually, without going through cPanel. I want to create them the same way cPanel does, because I want everything to stay compatible with cPanel. It's just that I need a script to create the email accounts automatically, which is why I can't use the cPanel interface.

If anyone else has accomplished this, or made any progress on it, I'd love to hear from you before I get started. It doesn't sound too difficult, but what may be time consuming is figuring out the locations of all the new/changed files.

Thanks,
Chris

Does this help

<?php
$cpaneluser = "username";
$cpanelpass = "password";

// add a new mail account - change to suite
$quota = "10";
$password = "password";
$newemail = "newemail';
$domain = "yourdomain.com";

$addpop = "http://$cpaneluser:$cpanelpass@localhost:2082/frontend/$cpaneltheme/mai
l/doaddpop.html?email=$newemail&domain=$domain&password=$password&quota=$quota";

$results = fopen($addpop,2);

?>

I will test it, but it sure looks like just the thing I was looking for. The script is all in PHP, so this will fit the bill just perfectly. Thanks so much for posting it!

Would I, by chance, need to add the $cpaneltheme variable up top, like the user/pass variables?
