Cpanel Email per username -Simple extension

This cpanel email extension, allows you to add email@urdomain per username.
The script will use mysql field value to determine wether the user has activated an email or not.
If not active will allow him to set email pass and activate.
If active will allow to directly login to webmail.
demo
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/email.php
Requires login ( "demo demo" pass 123456 ) but you will not be able to create a new email using it anyway thats why i added screenshots here.

Requirements are ofcourse a Cpanel username + no limits on email creation.

The script current features are :
Page only for registered ( No groups set but can be configured via source code )
Replaces Spaces from usernames to . (dot ) since emails cannot contain spaces.
REVISED : also characters such as # @ ~
If you prefer character _ instead of a . for spaces replacements it can be changed on line 92.

The script contains working functions , but not fancy stuff .
You can edit the template to add a faq section or something below logins.

Also it can be extended to allow user to delete his email account or change his email password from the email page but i didnt think its a good idea so i left them out (though can be added )

Finaly , if you have ideas to further extend those functions let me know, id be glad to share if i had more extra time .
Last note : Add a link wherever u want it to appear .


March 8th: Updated the the files, moved the config into includes and added htaccess contents as per Frugil post.
Added intrusctions on how to specify groups.

this is great but would be nice if there was a vbulletin interface for the webmail and not the boring dull cpanel interfaces :|

OK all done but no idea how to edit the mod....whats the details?

[freako9699]

OK have i got this right? You need to make an email account for your users first? then it will verify it over the forums?!? or no?

Ok.

I have it setup and working

Edit the cp_email_config.php file and input your own data.
Upload the files to your forums root.
Forum members can only access this script so no outsiders can get in.

run /your forum url/email.php

You will see a box asking you to input a password, this is the password to access mail and not your forum access password.

Once thats done the script will setup a pop3 email on your server using your forums URL. Once the password is entered and confirmed on screen the user is then given the opertunity to log into there new email account.

Re-enter /forums url/email.php and enter your password, your now at the webmail screen and therefore able to send and receive emails via your server and forums URL.

Could I ask the learned people out there is it wise to have a what appears to be a non protected php file on your public webspace with your cpanel username and password in it.

Try reading one of your own php files via the web.

I am not a person experienced at hacking so me not being able to do it means nothing, that is why I asked the question here.
