You can try to use Plesk API RPC for your task. More details you can find here http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.0-api-rpc/

thanks

thanks but I don't undestand what I will do ?

how use Plesk API RPC ? and In "Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0 API RPC Reference" give information but not the script for create email account.

what I will do ?

 

[IgorG]

It is not script. It is just API request. You should create XML file with description of your request for mailboxes creation and send it via API protocol. Mailboxes will be created. More details you can find in the mentioned document and here http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.2-api-rpc-guide/

ok

ok it's very good, and this answer to my question but I don't understand how to do many email account ?
is not possible to find the different name in a list ? how to execute the Xml on remote server ?

have you your docs in french ?

thanks

Sample for multiple mailboxes creation you can find here http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.2-api-rpc/34502.htm

You should create xml file with your request and send it with attached perl script with something like:

cat req.xml | perl api.pl Plesk_server_IP Plesk_admin_password

We have English documentation only.

ok thanks !

but, I find this, very complicating for create email account !
I have 800 email account to create in same domain: I must create a Xml files with header next integrate one by one the name and use the perl script for execute ! (for exemple I don't understand what is "domain_id", or what password use in header)

is too long !


It's not possible to have a easy way for much creation ? for exemple a script witch use a file with all names and create emails account automatically ?

 

[IgorG]

domain_id is ID of domain for which you create mailboxes. password_type can be plain or crypt if you want more security.
Usage of API requests for creation of plural objects the most widespread method now and it is used everywhere. Theoretically it is possible to write a script which is necessary to you, but it will occupy much more time because it will be necessary to describe all necessary parametres for each mailbox, as well as xml file for API request.

 

[wfirefox]

ok

I just want something witch is speed and earn more time for create much email account.

Hi wfirefox,

I'm having the same difficulty that you listed in the above post, could you tell me if could make the creation of multiple email accounts through Plesk?

Actually I found the docs are very confusing.

Thanks!
