Questions.
1. Can i use an exisitng member database, the vbulletin one. What happens about "special characters"?

2. Can 1 user have two different email addresses asociated with 1 account. I want all users to have as standard username@ascifi.com but also let them signup addition accounts@otherdomains.com but at those they don't have to use "username". Something like www.another.com type system (this is the most powerful webmail system i have ever used and not bad for its templates either!).

3. Automatiac account creation

Is this easy to do? if linking with vbulleitn the idea would be they signup for vbulletin and the account is created automatically (as well as the account for links SQL etc).

Hi,

1. Yes, Gossamer Mail has been designed to be easily integrated into other sources. We plan to release Auth_.. plugins once it is released to integrate into other common software. I'm sure a vbulletin one will be done. Special characters will have to be addressed somehow.

2. We don't have anything like that right now, but are looking into what would be involved.

3. Yes, the auth system is designed so that if a user has a valid session (for instance is logged into vBulletin), then their account automatically gets created when they login into Gossamer Mail. This does mean that their email address will not be valid until after they have logged into Gossamer Mail.

Cheers,

Alex

would would it take to have at the end of the signup form something that actually logs them into webmail (without them knowing) so that the account is then set up? This would be quite useful really.
