basiclly i need a service like everyone.net offers. i own http://ly2.com and i would like to offer my users you@ly2.com but i cant find a service that does it. everyone.net turned me down for lack of traffic wich is crazy, i get upwards of 3,000 hits a day. anyway, can anyone tell me of someone else who offers this? =\

B34nz, I would recommend HiveMail, which is a script that allows you to offer your users free webmail. However, the mailboxes would be hosted on your server.

hivemail is an excellent product, I am a licensed owner of the script. However I am upset with the lack of updates to the script. This doesn't mean it's a bad script, in fact it's very stable and very user friendly.

You can also take a look at socketmail, which is another excellent product.

If you can set it up on a cPanel Hosting account i can throw together a php script where they can signup and it creates there account and they view there email via a modified version of squirellmail (your design etc?)

i need something that is not hosted on my server tho, i need something that is ad supported, like everyone.net where they host the mailboxes and in exchange they show the people ad's.

any ideas? =[

Other than the cost of the script you can get a small reseller account for around $20 and place the script there.

In most cases there will be a cost involved, if you're looking for free solutions then it will be much harder.

There are a few free scripts that will interact with cpanel and allow users to sign up for an email account. These type of scripts allow users to use pop3 or whatever webmail you have on your server (horde, neomail, squirrelmail). however this still requires you to have a server or an account that has cpanel and the ability to make as many email addresses as you want.

If you require a Hosting account and an email account signup where you may put your own ads in the mailboxes, PM Me

You mean their "sponsored mail", right? Their "group mail" is good enough esp. when you charge your users: their service is reliable and the interface clean, EXCEPT perhaps I don't like their mail plus option.
