Project - need to add email accts outside of DA CP

[hostpc.com]

I've just been handed this "project" (ie "list of demands") and since you guys are so creative with the API and DA backend, thought I'd ask here. I am by no means a php "guru", tho I could learn a lot by example. I'm not asking anyone to "do it for me" - but a guide in the right direction, or if there's a pre-existing similar script that I could learn by/modify, that'd be great.

Goal: Create a web page (accessible outside the control panel) that will accept a new username, generate a random password, setup the (POP3) account on that particular domain (for instance, a form at http://mydomain.com/form.php generates the email at mydomain.com), and then have the results (u/p/settings) mailed to 2 or more people.

Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?

I tried something along these lines:


http://www.server.com:2222/CMD_API_POPD&action=create&domain=domain99.com&user=joe&passwd=password&quota=10

Returned:

You cannot execute that command



Details
The request you've made cannot be executed because it does not exist in your authority level

To work with the DA APIs you will need to make use the communication class (http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=258). Once you are familiar with the class working with DA's APIs is very easy :)

However, on this specific application - at some point one of us in this community is going to put together a script for adding/editing/removing email accounts, but at this time I know I am at least a little busy for the task. *Possibly* this weekend I could put something basic together for the general public, but I can't promise anything :)

Good luck.

I've just added the Email API's (among a few other things) to the api.html file:
