POSTFIX - adding user
I have mail server set on PPOSTFIX.
Structure of place where users mails are stored is like that: /home/company/user1/Maildir/ in Maildir i can find: /New /Cur /Tep So new messages are stored in dir "New", each email = 1 file. As I know it is very often (regular) solution. My question is how can I add another user eg. user2 Should I create manually dir /user2 and add user2 as shell account ( as it is with user1) additional question: If i want to change password for existing user (user1) can I just do that with command Code:
passwd user1 |
You would typically use a normal user account, added with the useradd (or adduser) command. you may well want to make the standard /Maildir/cur ln /etc/skel. then any new users will automatically have those dirs in their /home/ directory.

What u mean:

Let say i need to add user2 . Command: adduser user2 ( can it belong to group users or should be postfix group ? ) Then ( when user: user2 is alrdy created ) create in /home/user2/Maildir/cur /Maildir/New /Maildir/Tem Wha next? Is that all? What about this ln to /etc/skel ? EDIT: for existing users ls -l command in /home drwxr-xr-x 3 mailbox. mail 240 May 25 2004 user1 drwxr-xr-x 3 mailbox. mail 272 May 25 2004 userX drwxr-xr-x 3 mailbox. mail 272 May 28 2004 userY /etc/passwd: (...) user1:x:1052:8::/home/user1:/bin/false userX:x:1053:8::/home/userX:/bin/false user1:x:1054:8::/home/userY:/bin/false (...) /etc/group: (...) mail:x:8: |
i don't mean link, no. part of creating a new user will copy all the files in /etc/skel/ to the new users directories. default settings as it were.
