I want to become an email provider. How will I setup this? Do I need some script or just contact my host?
What do you mean by email provider? Do you want to offer accounts under a specific domain? Do you want to host email for any domain? Do you want to do virus/spam scanning?
Google has this type of program, You use your domain name and they provide the email , its kinda cool actually Hope that helps
Well, if you're planning to become titans like gmail or yahoo, then I say, stop it then and there! If it's for personal use or a group or friends/people you want to give email accounts to, then yes, its reasonable.
I just wanted to give free email accounts to my friends so no hope to compete with giants. Just for personal use for my friends. I will use my primary domain in my hosting account. how will I set it up?
gmail is your best bet, sign up below http://www.google.com/a/ i have set it up for one of my domains and it works great.
Wow great! One question, how will my friends access it then and how will they create an account if its from google? will they also access it through mydomain.com/webmail? how about creating an account? where will they go to google or to my domain?
Buy HiveMail. Easy to use mail script. Allows to create emails @domain.com blah blah Though, I dont love its graphics, some non professional.
