View Full Version : Control panel that stores people's names?

I was playing with a demo of CPanel 5, and noticed something that it appears to be lacking...

When setting up an email account for someone, or adding someone to a mailing list I set up, there is only a place to put their email address, but not their actual name. One list I run has many folks on it, but over half I don't recognize their email addresses any longer (ie: can't match their name to their email address).

Anyone know of mail list software, and/or control panel that allows you to enter a person's name when adding them to a mail list or giving them an email account?

Create a database locally to manage your user accounts, don't rely on keeping it on your server because if anything happens all your clients sites are gone as well as your contact information for them :)

That sounds like a good and safe idea, but I was thinking how handy it would be to see a list of mailboxes (usernames) I've assigned, with their name next to it. There doesn't have to be any other contact information, but a name would be nice... Thanks for the input!

You could have someone create a simple PHP Script which could let you use a MYSQL database to add names/emails (entries) to it with a web browser. Then just enter your clients in there. Its not hard to create.
