script to administer e-mail accounts

[swiftanswer]

I am using WHM and Cpanel as a reseller on a shared server.

I am trying to find a way to handle certain routeen email operations without having to log in to the cpanel (i.e. I want these to be site visitor initiated).

Operations that I need are:
Creating an e-mail account
Changing an e-mail password
Sending an e-mail password to the user (i.e. when lost)
deleating an e-mail account

if anyone can point me in the right direction I would apreciate it

I would be interested in the same.

I could also use all of these features, plus the ability to add e-mail forwards / autoresponders. I think this could be very useful, especially for importing users from a custom, home-grown system that I have. A Perl module, much like Accounting.pm, would probably be the best way to go.

Anyone else interested in this sort of thing? DarkORB, any chance that this will be happening soon?

I would, submit a feature request to cpanel.net regarding this.. that way it would get looked at

you could quite easily do all of this with a simple php script

Don't know about the other options you want out how can the email passwords be send to the user ? I mean they are not stored in clean text format on the server so they can just be mailed to the customer ??? Probably you can look for a third party plugin which can basically store all the details and mail it to the customers as when you want it.

The passwords are likely encrypted one-way, and therefore cannot be un-encrypted (and mailed to the user, for instance).

However, here are some php lines that you may find useful:


Adding an email account:

fopen("http://$cpanelusername:$cpanelpassword@localhost:2082/frontend/$cpaneltheme/mail/doaddpop.html?email=$newusername&domain=$domain&password=$newpassword&quota=$quota", "r")

Deleting an email account:

fopen("http://$cpanelusername:$cpanelpassword@localhost:2082/frontend/$cpaneltheme/mail/realdelpop.html?email=$username&domain=$domain", "r")

Changing a password:

fopen("http://$cpanelusername:$cpanelpassword@localhost:2082/frontend/$cpaneltheme/mail/dopasswdpop.html?email=$username&domain=$domain&password=$newpassword", "r")

The cpanel user/pass/theme variables could be set at the top of the php script, and the other variables taken from an html <form>...

Not to mention how are they going to be able to get their new email password by email if they cant login to get it?

When I try running the fopen() it's getting me this error:

Warning: fopen(http://...@localhost:2083/frontend/x2/mail/dopasswdpop.html?email=test&domain=test&password=test): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! đ{@0C/¸ą˙żÔB0C/ in /home/test/public_html/test2.php on line 2
Why? I've tried to change "http" to "https" and it works, but without any resoult.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you!
