They are using their own "program/script", and I doubt they will just hand it over to you (unless you pay them a HUGE amount of money). I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted at least a few million dollars for it. Just like Google is not going to just hand over their source code lightly. Neither would Microsoft. Nor Ebay. Nor Paypal.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Most mail servers have an API that allows you to dynamically add users... and a web interface for users to access email. If you are talking about 5k-10k accounts, the following might give you a starting place (I have not personally used this.) Here is a link to a free Windows based mail server that says it does most of what you would normally want to do if hosting free email accounts - http://www.hmailserver.com/?page=frontpage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
