If you give your users Host Admin access for a domain, they can add/edit/delete users, lists, and perform other administrative tasks via the web interface. If you want an isolated "create users only and absolutely nothing else" utility via the web interface, you can either purchase one of the many 3rd party tools or use IMail's command line utilities to write one yourself (ie adduser.exe).
For example, you have a customer that owns the domain name abc.com. You can give this customer Host Admin permissions to the domain. The customer will have full access to administer abc.com from their browser. (including add, edit, and delete users) If, on the other hand, YOU own xyz.com and you would like let customers sign-up (like hotmail.com) for an email address on your domain, you're going to have to either write your own web page to do this (not very difficult) or purchase (IMHO) one of the quite reasonably priced 3rd party tools available. If you don't feel like purchasing 3rd party software and you don't want to try your hand at programming against the IMail's user storage in the registry or programming with IMail's command line utilites, you can use a SQL database as your backend. If you know a little SQL, you can write a JSP, ASP, or CGI page to add a user record to the database. Pretty easy (assuming you know how to program basic database access pages). Personally, I've had to program against an MS Exchange server and Unix sendmail. They all have their pros and cons, but I've found IMail to be the easiest to work with for my simple applications. -Norm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 7:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Imail Create User on the fly via web Ok, so just to clarify: there's no "out of the box" ability to do this? Unless I misunderstand, EZ-Signup is a third party utility that would need to be purchased from another company.
