RE: [cobalt-users] POP3/IMAP Mailboxes

["Kevin" <owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I set up a new account, I add the following aliases for them:

Webmaster, owner, sales, support.

 I also make it clear in my online Policy that they cannot make user names
of Webmaster, Hostmaster, or Owner. So far it has worked for me without any
problems at all.

OK OK  maybe I am not communicating this the right way.
I am not asking to create two users on a system with the SAME username.
I realize this would not be possible.  However, to require my end
user to go through the whole Cobalt GUI Alias thing is just ridiculous!
I know there has to be a way to EASILY give customer a sales@xxxxxxxxxxx
while customer b gets sales@xxxxxxxxxxxx  I am not saying it is EASY to
setup,
but I need a way to make it easy for the USER to setup.   So I ask this: How
do
hosting providers offer mailboxes to their users without making them go
through this?
The last 3 IHPs I used had one form used for adding/removing/viewing pop
boxes to
my account.  They had the same thing for autoresponders and fwds.  This is
the funtionality
I want to provide to my end user, and If the cobalt can't handle this, maybe
I made a mistake
buying it.

Another option is to write a GUI that automates the email alias thing.
Maybe this is how
people are doing this. Any ideas on that one?

Is there really NO COBALT user out there that has implimented this service?
(customers can add mailboxes on the fly, without the Cobalt GUI's Alias
Option).
