Apache Friends Support Forum

Greetings Apache Community,

My goal is to create a new user account locally in Mercury Mail using PHP but it is not well-documented. From what I see there is a thing called 'Maiser" which I think is a master account of sorts that allows to RELOAD USERS once we added all the files in the pmail.usr and mail, directories but there aren't documentations that explains the ways to log as the master account. If there are anyone that can bring this to a closure, that would be appreciated. Thank you!

If there are any issues with it, I can delete the stackoverflow questions and seek help here. As the answer was vague and there are missing codes from the user that asked the original question, I decided to seek help from this community while at the same time hope that someone can answer to the question from stackoverflow.

Thank you

Crossposting / Multiposting is a problem because a community may invest time analyzing or solving your issue which has already done by another community. And nobody gets informations about what has already been done or asked to help you out.

We don't close Crosspostings if all communities have the chance to get all information. Means: at stackoverflow you need to link to this thread here, and your thread here needs a link to your stackoverflow post (which i have already done for you). And if you ask your question to a third community, you need to inform all communities. But please read the community rules first, some communities may have forbidden crosspostings completely.

I doubt that you will get an answer here and maybe not at stackoverflow. Mercury Mail does have only minor benefits nowadays. I don't use it and the count of threads here about Mercury Mail are near zero.

I see. I do acknowledge that even in German posts that there is little to no discussion regards Mercury Mail. That being the case, will there be a change of mail server in the future?

I don't know.
But there are better alternatives available to run a mail server, like hmailserver or if you only want to simulate mail transfer something like Mailhog / msendmail
