SMTP interface

[Webforumz Staff]

Here's the scenario. Shared hosting account, Windows server for the website, unix email server. The account offers unlimited POP email accounts, but to add an account you have to in by hand to the IMail or QMail administration interface and add the email account one at a time.

Does anyone know of a way to interface with a unix SMTP server on a shared hosting setup through ASP/PHP/ASP.NET to add new email accounts through code? So if you have something like a Nuke community site then members can get an email account set up when they sign up for the membership...

I know this is an odd one but I thought maybe someone heard of something.

I found this http://www.enzolutions.com/qadmin/home.php which is a web-based admin for qmail. It is PHP, so you can have a look at the logic and hopefully get an idea of how to achieve what you are after.

Or look here for more links http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=%2Bqm...id=0&offset=40

Hope it helps.

Hmm interesting. I suspect those might have to be installed on the server that Qmail is running on which would be a problem, but I'll read though some code in case. Thanks for the links.
