Register for Email accounts

[dicon]

Hi

Is there a way i can have a user register for an email address? i mean register in way that the user selects the email he or she wants such as "user@" and the script checks the server to see if user has already been taken if it hasnt then it registers the domain for them so they can access thier email staright away from webmail or squirrelmail etc.

The system i'm looking for would be similar to hotmail or yahoo mail.

Regards
Dicon

Hello,

Yes, it's possible. You'd need to do a bit of scripting, then you can just to the api to interface with DA.

Sorry for my ignorance but would i be able to find a tutorial which would explain it a little bit clearer to a newbie like me.

Hello,

Don't think there is anything like that yet. I thought I heard some people are talking about making the script, but not sure if that will happen or how far off it would be.
