[cobalt-users] Public Add User Script

["Steven Depuydt - BeNe.WS" <steven@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

On our RAQ3i Neomail is running.

I am looking for a script (when possible in PHP) to Add (E-mail) Users.

We want to make a form that can ask for an e-mail alias;
then checks if the alias is free;
when OK: adds the user with a random login & password and displays this on
the screen.

---------------------------

I had the idea to create 500 users (to start) in the GUI ; (A lot of work)
To make a database in MySQL with the logins & passwords in it; (Again a lot
of work)
To make a form in PHP where they can sign up (A little bit of work)
The PHP scripts looks in the database and searches for a free account and
redirects them to the URL of the user admin page to let them change the
email alias.

But the problem is that they can see that it's also possible that they can
host a user-site on our server; forward the mail; ...
Its complicated for the user and for me it's a lot of work to create the
users in the GUI and in the MySQL database.

I only want to give them an e-mail account (alias) and eventually let them
change the password

------------------------------

Has someone done this before or has a solution to automate the task of
adding e-mail accounts in PHP or CGI or PERL or ???.
(I searched in the archives but did not find a GOOD solution)

Is there a limitation of the number of users per domain on a RAQ3i with 128
Mb of RAM ??

Thanks,
