Letting Users Sign up for an Email Address

I won't need to worry about abuse as my dinky website only gets about i visitor a year. I just want to do it to say i can. I don't know any programming like c++ or Perl. I don't even know cgi. so I guess it's just not possible for right now.

Is it possible to allow users apply for email account [username]@[myurl].com?

They would submit username and password and could then start using the account immediately. 

 

Would this be done with PHP and MYSQL? I'm a noob when it comes to how these things work.

I have a mercury mail server setup with squirrelmail on my xampp configuration. I'm just starting to get deeper into how servers and databases work together.

any help will be appreciated

 

I already Googled it. I couldn't find anything.

There's only the admin functionality within the Mercury GUI, but these things could be possible with outside coding.  You would need to take steps to handle the requests properly and avoid abuse.
