So I want to create an email account for a user, using the following method:

Joe visits smith.com
Joe wants an email account, such as [email protected]
Joe pays $10 to smith.com for the email account
smith.com automatically generates joe an email account w/ a temp password
joe now logs in as [email protected], changes password, sends emails
smith.com enjoys $10 by buying a 12-pack of Smirnoff Ice

So... what's the best (or only) way to create an email account for a user automatically? I don't have my own server. I'm being hosted by iPaska (www.ipaska.com) and I have access to cPanel.

Thanks!

I posted this in the Webmastering/Programming Thread, but no luck there... maybe you guys know something?
 
All depends on the email server. CommuniGate Pro (email server I use) allows for a remote CLI even though the main configuration is web-based. Using a perl script when a customer pays their fee he's able to go through a CLI to add the account w/ a temp password and email the customer.
