Depends on which approach you are taking! When playing with sendmail, chances are you'll have to add a system account, anyway i no nothing about possibilities withou system account! Another hand, if you go with qmail, you can add email account without using system ones. This approach is nicer than using system ones, cause you'll endup having a more secure environment. Qmail is a very modular system, since you can have mail accounted with no relationship with system ones. > 2- is hotmail.com and yahoo.com they adding user if someone > click on signup? I dont known, but i guess no! It's nonsense addin a system account for each mail/pop one. > 3- where i can find a cgi scripts for emails (like hotmail.com > and yahoo.com) ? (note: i want make a free email like > hotmail.com ) I have no ideia! i suggest you writing your own! Try with php, and if you need for speed/performance, the way to go is fastcgi and C, and remenber, about all problems related to security and C/FastCGI. > Thanks I am writing a lib to let you administer a mail server, i.e.: At this time, i have implemented the db (using mysql) and the libs (written in C). The application (it's to you to write) can be a CLI/Web Base Interface/ etc. I have written a cli tool to let other learn how to plain with it and write the own utilities. My library set, let you add postmasters, the ammount of domain she/he can manage, the ammount of pop and mail account she/he can add (pop account != mail account), plays with password for postmaster and pop account. Of course, a postmaster can add mail account for the domain she/he own. If you would like to take a look at it (although the cli tools are not ready yet) i can send it to you. The libs keep the db consistency, manipulating the db directly is not a good thing to do!
