sendmail account setup

I want to be able to create a sendmail account by commands sent from a web
page. I am using php. After everything is done, I want to enter his info
into the database (easy) and create this sendmail account. Can anyone give
me pointers to explanations/excamples? I have done a quick search on the
web, but haven't turned up anything. In addition, I do NOT want to create a
regular user account on the server -- only a sendmail account.

Shelly,

It depends entirely on how sendmail validates users.

The default under unix is to use the UNIX accounts. So to create a
sendmail account you would have to create a user account.

It also depends on which MTA you're using. For instance, I use exim
instead of sendmail. I have set Exim up to handle email accounts
through a MySQL database instead of the system. The result is to add an
account all I have to do is insert a row in a MySQL table.
