Create Email Account Instantly Script

[davidb2002]

Hi guys,

Im new to the forums and I have had a bit of a search around and it seems that this is a common issue with other, but I have not found the solution.

Like many others, I want to provide a free email account service for my website visitors. This will work by allowing the visitor to fill out a form (with the desired email address @mydomain.com) and upon submission, the script should check to availability of the email address, report any errors, if its available, create it with a quota and the password provided.

I will at first use Horde for a webmail interface, but I eventually will try to contruct my own webmail application.

Please post your solutions here. I believe there are many...along the lines of PHP/cURL. The easier, the better! Just want to automate the email creation basicly.

I have a feeling you're not too great with the search function.

 

[davidb2002]

I never said I was. But still, I have a question. Any ideas guys, what can do what i need it to?

 

[KingDrew]

Yes, I've developed something in PHP to create email accounts. It's been posted here and is available for download here as well. It was the sixth result of a search I performed.

I would not recommend this as Spammers would eat you alive.

Thanks for the input beehave. Ill take that into consideration when I develop the signup process.

As for KingDrew, im glad you found your own post. Is it possible you could help someone out and post it here.

 

[KingDrew]

Sorry if I seem rude but there are always threads asking this sort of question and it just annoys me.

I'm sure that's more than what you were asking for though =p

Thank you very much Kingdrew! I will look into your script.

More help On Auto email Creating and Forwarding

Thank you Guys for all the help and contributions. I appreciate them all. I am really new to php, please do not be irritated by my request.
I have just a similar intention with almost all of the users here, and to mention, I want to enable the users to my website, to automatically create email addresses, and also forward them to other emails they may have.
I have looked through the codes helpfully provided to us by others here, and I just don't know how to get this work for me. I know there are quite alot of thing they consider others already know, and some of this I am probably missing. How do I point the form to this code? or is this code going to be on a php page I am to create?

Again I thank you all for your contributions, and will be glad you do me some more favour.
