What I Use Is Neomail... I Have A Script That Creates The Email Account In Cpanel For A Domain...

Do you need to have a reseller account for this to work? How hard is it to limit the amount of space that they have, and how hard is it to set up alias for the account?

Not meaning to intrude on this thread but I figure QBert will have similar questions

it works on all cpanels... there are a few php scripts on the web to allow people to create their own accounts, but for the time being you can add them yourself.
just go to:
http://www.yoursite.com:2082/frontend/x/mail/addpop2.html
and create a new email account, you can put in their email address, and password. it also gives you the option to give a 'quota'.
the quota determinds how much space that email account has (in mb).
you have leave it blank for no restriction (not recommended unless you have unlimited web space)

then once the accounts have been created they can be access through this link:
http://www.yoursite.com:2095 (if using cpanel)
it then asks them to type in their username and password...

if you still dont understand, pm me and i can help you out some more...

i hope this does help though!
thanks

Thanks, but can you name a couple good php programs? I was also thinking that a way to do alias would be cool. You give them the addy [email protected] and it forwards to any email that they want

do you want it to make a email account though cpanel or your own script like gimemail.com / gmail.com / hotmail.com ect.

If u want it to have remotely hosted then u can go for bigmailboz.com , gawab.com or everyone.net.
these sites give email serives to other sites .u dont need to do anything just sing up .choose a template, upload ur logo and ur conatct details and other infos and that's it put a small pic of code on ur site and u are ready to go

If you use CPanel I have a free email creator script in the Programming->Code section.

You can check that out.

Something like Hivemail would be good, but cheaper.

 

[QBert]

How hard would it be to change from a cpanel based email script to hivemail or the other way around?

Are there spesfic things for secerety that i should be looking out for?

Thanks
