Virtual Email
 
Here is the deal...I am getting ready to put up webmail system for usage by my system users. However I am running into a problem. Problem is I dont want to have too many phsyical users on the system for security reasons and risks. So I was trying to find out if there was a way to create perhaps some virtual user where there is a physical email box or virtual email box of some sort on the server. I dont want to create a physical user and set the shell to nologin as I again im trying to avoid adding a user account. This account should be allowed to check the email through the webmail client but only should be able to receive email to his/her domain and not from system domains meaning they shouldnt be getting emails from @server1 or @server2 but only getting emails instead sent to their account@theirdomain.com ?? Anybody following me and know how to arrange this (seems to be complicated process) please let me know! I gladly apprecaite any and all help I get on this issue! Thanks!

Check for virtusertable and aliases files in Sendmail configuration.
