eMail address availability instead of Domain Name Availability?

[VeraVault]

Hello,

 

I'm considering purchasing WHMCS to sell email address on our domains. I will use the hooks to create the email address on our server. I will need however to change the domain availability field to an email availability instead. Is this possible? is there a hook for the domain availability checker? I did not find this answer in the wiki.

 

Thanks in advance

I kind of understand your solution you want to rent email address's

 

Johndoe@therentedemailaddress.com

jandoe@therentedemailaddress.com

 

But instead of it checking therentedemailaddress.com you want it to check if Jandoe or Johndoe is available?

 

It's all possible though you would need to have some kind of cron I would assume to pull current email address in use on the servers... And then for whmcs to check against that list...

Hi,

 

You wouldn't be able to use the built in order form for this. Instead what you would do is write a custom order form using the API to add the order to WHMCS. Your form can then handle the validation and checking of the desired email address, then only allow the order to proceed if valid and available.

 

You would then use a custom module to automate the provisioning of that email address (rather than hook) on the server.
