Hi, a question though.

Why do you need to automate it? CPanel is already an automated interface for webmaster to create accounts etc. Are you planning to have lots of users everyday or are you planning to integrate with your website or something?

I have an email service, soon hosting. Problem is i have to create each account individually. I want to have them signup and create the account, not just email me so i can. if i can do this i can use a really nice database/php interface to manage them. Witch i have. So mainly i dont want to create every account by hand.

So you want to offer webmail service for your visitors/users where they can signup and get the account.

Maybe you want to consider SocketMail Lite, I think they have want you want. Downside: its not free. But they have loads of features.
