mail parsing and forwarding

[khatrokhat]

We have a program that lets users post listings online.

 

It works well, but it shows users' email addresses.

 

We want to build a system that will:

 

1.) Create individual, unique forwarding addresses from our domain for each listing posted.

 

2.) Take the user's real email address & associate it with a forwarding e-mail address on our server. We'll use the forwarding email address to show online.

 

PLEASE HELP I NEED TO SOLVE IT URGENTLY

There are a million ways to go about doing that. It all depends on your system and what your MTA is, as well as your Listserv.  Are you running courier MTA, Postfix, sendmail, qmail, qmail toaster, etc...?  Each handles mail slightly differently.  Next comes Listservs. Each of those has their own setup, and how you can alter data within them.  It's more a question of how you plan to retrieve the mail, and create the user. Can you automate user creation?  We paid our developer buku bucks to build our automation script for email address creation.  His even does a default redirect. You won't want that, because that would defeat the purpose.  I just need more info, so I can point you in the right direction.
