I need a simple system that will allow specific usergoups to have an email alias on my server.
So basically any member of a specific usergroup would get an email from the site that is username@domain.com. This email address would simply forward to their registered email address.
This is better than setting up an email system on your server due to volume, complexity and they limitations of the existing email systems (Ive used both HiveMail and VMS).
The script would simply need to query the database returning all members of a specific usergroup, thier username and email address. It would need to determine if thier usernames are valid email addresses.
Then format the data and write it to the file where the email aliases are stored on the server.
You could then set up the script to run whenever you want in the vB Cron system.
If anyone is interested in writing this, I would be happy to assist.
