I have set something up using cold fusion to do this.  Basically, Imail has a feature that you can send emails to setup a new  email address through a program alias (adduser.exe?).  In this email, you include the email prefix (without the domain info), and the password and the users name.

When I send the email I add the record to my database.  The next time a user makes the request, I make sure the name has not been taken.  If it has not I then send the email to the server to set the new email up.

Occasionally, I will have an email that was not setup.  I am not sure what causes this.  I have a batch job that runs once a week and re issues the command to create the email for those emails requested during that week.  If the email already existed it does nothing, otherwise it adds the email to imail.  I have not had any emails not created after running this second job.

if you need more information send me an email directly and I can answer more questions.

Subject: [IMail Forum] ASP administration

Hey hi,
 
I would like to be able to administrate IMail Server via some form of ASP/CGI application, since I would like to be able to create POP accounts on-the-fly (as part of a membership signup system) for the members.
 
Is this at all possible?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Matthew Bates
