Developing an online email service [closed]
- by Richard Stokes
I am interested in developing an online email service (e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, but on a much smaller scale) allowing people to sign up for free email addresses on my domain. The domain in question is already purchased, but I have no idea how to even start. I was hoping to code this using a Ruby framework such as Rails or Sinatra.
Firstly, are there any libraries/pre-made solutions to this problem that exist already that would be easy enough to just plug-in to my own site?
Secondly, if there are no real pre-made solutions, what are the general steps I need to take to accomplish this task?
