Here's the thing:
I have shell/ssh access to the remote host
I don't have cPanel or something like that
Domain is, lets say, mydomain.com
What I want is to create new email account, something like bounced#mydomain.com. That needs to be done via shell, as I don't have cPanel there.
I searched and searched and found tons of cPanel solutions, but non that covers shell.
Just to be clear: question is not how to send/receive emails, but to create new email account with username and password.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated! :)
Well that really depends on the mail server, doesn't it?
From a quick google search, I found this for sendmail:

You need to edit a file and call a program (useradd). I guess both as root.
You will have to find out what email server you are running and how to configure it/add users. Doing this from shell (or remote shell, doesn't matter) really is the normal way of doing this. So this isn't at all a question about programming. You might want to look at superuser or serverfault stack exchange sites.

Apologies if this is the wrong site - not really sure which site is best for this, but since it's SMTP-related (or is it?), I figured maybe this site had the best audience.
My company just set all of our live servers to route email through Critsend (at a cost). Apparently we've had some people complain about emails going missing, and this service lets us track it better...
I was pretty shocked, and said "There's nothing they can possibly tell us, that we can't get from the SMTP server logs!". However, I was given a huge list of features they support, including this:
Spam folder statistics with addresses
Apparently, they can tell us how many (and which!) emails went into spam folders.
I've done a little SMTP in my time, and I'm certain there is no way to get this information. So, what are they doing to claim this feature? (Note: Sadly, I don't have any access to actually see one of these reports).

Is it possible to find the Full Name of a person from the email address?
If yes, how can I do that?
No, there's no global mapping of email addresses to full names.
If you're working in an enterprise that maintains a directory service like LDAP or Active Directory then this service could be used to do what you want for people in that directory.
Email them and ask them their name. Failing that, I like Mr. Cooper's answer. :)
Stick the email into Google, Bing, Facebook, Linkedin, MySpace and see what comes up.

I have set my MX record with Google
Mail, but google only provide 50 email
address for free is there any
possibility to create 50 email with
google and more with my own Web
hosting provider email server?
Unfortunately not. There's no way for MX records for a domain to distinguish between different addresses. However, if it's possible to create subdomain email addresses, you might be able to get away with creating a catch-all address in Google Apps and then setting filters to forward mail appropriately.
However, I think your best solution would really be to start paying for Google Apps if you're using it so extensively. Definitely worth it.

I am looking for a VERY simple method to allow for computer illiterate people to set up emailers and be able to send them on to others.
Basically, our client is a franchise chain of about 44 and mostly consisting of stay at home mom's. They would all like to keep in contact with one another via an email campaign of sorts but this needs to be super simple for them.
Here's what we know about them:
The would like to add photos but know nothing about image cropping/resizing or manipulation.
They would need it in the form of an .oft template so that they can just copy and paste.
These are the biggest hurdles. My suggestion to them would be this:
Set up an .oft template which they can open from Outlook and start editing.
Find an online tool where they can upload their images and it spits out the correct sizes for them
Does anyone have another idea of something similar please? As far as I am aware, only Outlook 2003 runs .oft templates still?
Many thanks!

I'm trying to enable some basic commands via email. Currently I have shared hosting accounts with shell access at dreamhost and site5. I usually use php/drupal, but am open to other options. I found this question, but I'm looking for something more basic: what do I need to configure where to create a hello world app that responds to email? Are there (free) services out there that will make the basic set up easier? I'm pretty open to using any kind of email address, since this is for a personal project at the moment....
For email, it would be pretty easy to setup a cron job that pulls in email via POP3, then loops through and responds to them.
For example, you could do it with a Python script using the poplib (http://docs.python.org/library/poplib.html) library. Then just have cron call your script every 5 minutes.
I have no affiliation with this company, but Twilio (http://www.twilio.com/sms) provides services and a simple API for a lot of this sort of thing. I've never used it, but it looks like the answer to many people's prayers, so well done them.
