trq Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Your question is pretty vague. Do you need to make a mail server or a web interface to access emails? These are two completely different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Firstly, can you explain to me (in detail) what you think a mail server actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranakim Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 the email server on which we can send and recieve emails users can register to a domain e.g company.com when they sign up from internet to my domain they assign an id like user@company.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 That explains nothing. I said in detail. Anyway, know one is going to write you a tutorial on creating a mail server. PHP probably isn't the best language for it either but anyway, I suggest you start with sockets. http://php.net/sockets You will also need to read up on the SMTP protocol.
