This script is nearly what I need, can anyone think how I can adapt it to do the following:-

For a Staff Notice board on a companies Internal Intranet.
I want to simplify registration for my users and ensure their
phpBB user name is the same as the first part of their network user name

My user's email addresses are in the format:
abc@exchange Anthony Chapman
def@exchange Darren Farmer

(Where the first part of the address is their network user name)

To register I want the user to simply send an empty email to the board and have the board create an account and email back the user with their phpBB UserID and password. If the account exists for that user then the reply email will contain the standard instructions for resetting their password.

I realise this would not be practical on the Internet but on my Intranet I need a mechanism that will force the users to use the same phpBB logon as their network logon which is part of their email address.

Perhaps a mechanism that extracts the "from address" from the email and posts it to the forum using this script.

it could be done, how-ever I belive that not meny users are in need of sutch "auto register by email" mod.
if willing to pay for the development, I might do it.
the mod will then be released to the bennefit of the comunity.

Sutch mod would require a pop3 account on your server - e.g. register@mydomain.org - the mod could then on a schedulet basis connect to this, and see if any pending requests are to be processed.
the schedule would be runing as a cron (or AT on windows server)
