email forwarder

how can I

[siraxi]

Hello

I'd like to give my website's visitors to have an email address@ my domain name, but as I cannot host the email messages, I'd like just to have all the emails forwarded to user's common email address (@yahoo.com or @hotmail.com for instance).

I know how to do it manually (from CPanel>Email>Forwarders) but there must be a way to be done automatically. How?

I have a Unix server running Apache, PHP, MySQL.

Thanks,
siraxi

If you are running your own server it should not be to difficuty, There are a lot of pretty good web based email servers, some are even open source that will run on your linux box. Then using dns point mail.you.com to your email server with an MX entry.

I think that most of these programs also allow you to forward the email as opposed to hosting it. his may be what you are looking for.

In simpler terms (basically continuation to what has been said above), you will have to:

1) Activate "catch-all" addresses for your domain using your control panel.

2) Configure your server to "pipe" (forward) all unconfigured email addresses to a script/program.

3) Setup your program to check your user database for corresponding destination email for just received email.

For further assistance you may search google for .. "pipe email script".
