Hi,

I would like to create a new email account for newly registered authors,  
but I wasn’t even able to find info, if it is possible or not.

For example:

users nick name: testuser  
my domain name: [example.com](http://example.com)

and automatically created account should be: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Thanks in advance.  
Petr

That’s going to be entirely dependant on the software you use to  
manage email accounts on your domain.

Thanks for your reply, we are currently running Merak mail server and  
its software to manage administration tasks.
