Create email accounts with PHP

[Welling]

I want to create e-mail accounts in the server, I know there're scripts that opens the cPanel and creates the accounts but I don't want user this method.

 

Are there another method (with exec or other...) to creace email accounts in the server?

 

Thanks

What OS and mail server are you using?

The OS is:

Linux *****************.com 2.6.22-9_1.BHsmp #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 15:57:22 MST 2008 x86_64

but I don't know the mail server... I have access to SSH but I don't know how to see this...

 

Thanks

You could just use a form of Web mail, and as this is a PHP forum I would recommend RoundCube.

 

It's still in its beta stages but very tasty.

Easy to setup but this is just another form of web mail, like the ones on offer through Cpanel.

 

Hope this helps.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if and what the command is to tell you which mail server is installed, but Postfix is quite a common Linux mail server - If I remember correctly, Postfix stores all of its data in a MySQL database  so see if there is a database set-up for it. If so, you're in luck, I think you just have to add a record to the users table and create a directory to store the users mail in, check the manual. If not, I'm no longer help to you...

I have been searched in the server and according to the status page there are a program called "exim (exim-4.68-1_cpanel_maildir)" working, maybe this is the mail program.
