Create multiple domain accounts with bash script

Hello I am trying to create multiple accounts with a bash script that works fine my issue is it reads the domain user-names and passwords form a file but /scripts/wwwacct is reading the file and trying to add everything as the domains even the user and pass. Bellow is a copy of the script and the file and the output when I run the script. Script
#! /bin/bash #make a file (/root/test1) which contains domain names, username and password. for i in `cat /root/test1` do domain=`echo $i | cut -f1 -d:` un=`echo $i | cut -f2 -d:` pw=`echo $i | cut -f3 -d:` /scripts/wwwacct $domain $un $pw 0 done
Domain, User, Pass File
domain.1 vname1 pass domain.2 vname2 pass domain.3 vname3 pass domain.4 vname4 pass domain.5 vname5 pass domain.6 vname6 pass domain.7 vname7 pass domain.8 vname8 pass domain.9 vname9 pass domain.10 vname10 pass domain.11 vname11 pass domain.12 vname12 pass domain.13 vname13 pass domain.14 vname14 pass domain.15 vname15 pass domain.16 vname16 pass domain.17 vname17 pass domain.18 vname18 pass domain.19 vname19 pass domain.20 vname20 pass domain.21 vname21 pass domain.22 vname22 pass domain.23 vname23 pass
Any help to fix this would be great I know its how I have them listed in the file that is the issue so my question is how do I fix it so wwwacct can read it properly?

  echo "domain.1" | sed -e 's/\.//'

  Hello, Is it necessary to store actual usernames and passwords in a text file on the system in plaintext? You may want to consider developing a script that randomly generates the username/password for an account rather than using one from a list, as an added security precaution. Thank you.
