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 .

Sorry to seem stupid on this, but when I use my login details for my control panel, and then try to access my email through the forum I get this error:

Warning: fopen(http://...@steadiforum.com:2082/fron...xxP&quota=10): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /email.php on line 125
Sorry, Could not create a connection to our Mail Server, your email was not created, please hit the back button and try again: Contact the admin at mail if you encounter further problems

I'm pretty stuck on this one, not sure if it possible with my current hosting.

Thanks,

Jason

did you edit cp_email_config correctly ? the file that should be uploaded to the includes folder.
There you should add your cpanel and login details as specified .If everything is surely okey , just check if your phpinfo setting allows fopen as well.

can u set it so only certain usergroups get email adresses

[lebanon]

melefire , instructions are within the readme.txt as well as in previous posts, u have to do this manually by changing a line in email.php

Should it work on vb 3.5.3
I tried to install on VB 3.5.3
and getting the error

Warning: fopen(http://...@mydomain.com:2082/frontend/x/mail/doaddpop.html?email=abc&domain=mydomain.com&passwo rd=123456"a=5): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /email.php on line 128
Sorry, Could not create a connection to our Mail Server, your email was not created, please hit the back button and try again: Contact the admin at admin@mydomain.com if you encounter further problems

Any suggestions

rizwan65, this actually means the script is working, the couldnt open a connection could come up for two reasons:
cpanel user and password supplied in the config are not set correctly
or you are not allowed to use fopen on your server.

and My password is also correct
I have rechecked it
