Is there a mod that allows members to create an email address during registration?

So that when a guest comes to the site and wants to create a new account they are then able to also create an email account like:

newmember@myforum.com

Or has this never been done?

Never been done. it would vary from server to server as the functions to create them change from Control Panel to control panel.

yes it would.

cPanel provides a API so that this can be done, but i wouldnt have the sightest clue of where to begin.

For now, though it'll be hard. you can always create a custom profile field, and have it ask at registration if they'd like their email address to be. Then go set them up by hand

It'd vary from each control panel, but I think I could do one for cPanel. I'll have a think about it.

I reckon this should be a paid request :p.
