Auto create e-mail account upon domain creation

[vaida.dan]

Hello all.
I was wondering if there is a way to set up a cron job or if there are some kind of settings that would allow the automated creation of an e-mail account when I add a new domain.

For example I add the domain abcd.com and an e-mail account like me@abcd.com is automatically created.
The password of the account shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone ? I am pretty sure it can be done with an "Event Handler" command but didn't figured it out yet.

Create an event handler for the domain creation event and copy this command to the command field.

/opt/psa/bin/mail.sh --create postmaster@<new_domain_name>

Of course there are more parameters for it. You can look after here:

Oh, i totally forgot about this thread. Found the solution with a cron job that calls a perl script which searches for new domains; and actually for me is "/usr/local/psa/bin/mail.sh" but that depends of course.
Thanks for sharing though. A further reference might be the following:

(tested all those parameters on 8.2 and they work)

If you use the Event manager you do not have to search. The <new_domain_name> part will be automatically changed by the event handler to the name of the new domain name.

That's right. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I managed to do it the hard way in the end and it works perfectly but will consider your method also. This might be of use for others looking to achieve the same thing.
