hi,

I'm trying to automatically create an email forwarder for every person who registers on my site. Each person will provide a user name and email address which will be stored in a mysql database. Ideally, a forwarder that will forward user@mysite.com to the user's email address would be generated from that stored information. Is there any way to do this with php? How should I go about doing this?

Thank you

How you set up the script will depend upon your site's hosting configuration - the type of script you are looking to build will accept "piped" e-mail filestreams and will then disassemble the incoming e-mail and reassemble the e-mail for mailing to the e-mail address from your database.

Try running a search for "php e-mail piping script" on the search engine of your choice to see others' solutions.
