need help with this script creating email accounts

[affandi]

Hi, I found this topic regarding email account creation:

http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=14157

The problem is that the script doesn't work properly; it makes emails with a space between username and the domain for example:

user1 @domain.com instead of [email protected]

and also the output in etc/virtual/domain/passwd is wrong

instead of
user1:randompassword
user2:randompassword
it's like this:
user1
:randompassword
user2
:randompassword

Hope someone can help me out

Thanks

How does your file with names look like? Did you create it in Windows OS/Mac OS with their own line-breaks (\r\n)? If so you probably need to change line-breaks to Linux-native format (\n).

It works after using ascii transfer instead of binary.

But it only creates pop email accounts and not imap, so can't access it on webmail.

Do you know the fastest way to create a lot of imap accounts with this script or some other way around?

Thanks in advance

Actually the script is outdated, and it creates accounts for old version of dovecot I believe.

In directadmin POP and IMAP accounts are the same.

I'd rather run curl in a loop from command line to create all those accounts via API:

/CMD_API_POP?action=create&domain=domain.com&user=emailuser&passwd=password&quota=10

you need to pass headers for AUTH username/password too.
