Need help on Mail Forward and Auto-Response

[will-lo]

Dear All,

I've tried to search the forum to find a clue but no luck so I would like to seek some advices from you expert! ^^

One of my DA user created 10 email accounts under the domain name xyz.com. say.. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected].

I do know mail forwarding / auto-reply can be set in DA control panel interface, the problem is the DA admin user is always out of office. So is there a way for the users [email protected] to [email protected] to change their mail-forward / auto-reply setting without giving out the DA admin password?

Those users only have an email account.

Thanks!
Will

Short Version: No.


Longer version: DA email users aren't real users, and can't do anything except change their password.

I'm on the virge of adding some api commands very similar to CMD_EMAIL_ACCOUNT_QUOTA and CMD_CHANGE_EMAIL_PASSWORD which already allow an email user to change his password and view his current email usage and quota limits. The commands I'm thinking of adding have the same access privileges as these commands in that a DA account username/password isn't required to do them. This means that and API script can be used without having to store your very sensitive DirectAdmin username/password in some world readable php scripts. The user/pass will be the email account name and the email password. With that data, anything could be done to that 1 account, such as autoresponders, vacation messages.. and possibly forwarders (forwarder get a bit more complex).. it might just be vacation messages. We'll see how ticky it is. (eg: with forwarders, the account has to be deleted if you don't want to save a local copy, thus the login would no longer work.. hence forwarders probably won't work for this method).
