darwinlinux · 03-27-2008, 07:11 AM

I'm working on my new web server and I want to know what can I do to create an e mail account for my domain. Which command should I use? do I have to install any additional software?

Thanks in advance.

That depends on how your server is setup, if the users are system users just add the user using the useradd command if the users are stored in some other data store like a db then you need to add the account there

For public e-mail facilities this will entirely depend on the installed mail server solution that you have installed. This ranges from plain sendmail to postfix, dovecot, etc.

Difficult to be more specific without knowing your installation. Check the documentation - most mail server installations have an easy common setup running by default.
