sendmail how to add new email and new account
 

Hi all

I want to know how to add new email and new account on sendmail

I wish assistance

Thanks

Create new account on the server. Feel free to change users default shell to something as /bin/false or /bin/nologin.

There are distributions which require root to send e-mail to newly created account (once) in order to make e-mail account active (most notably RedHat, as I recall).

Ok my distribution is fedora.

But the problem is there is no interface of this program`````````````````````````````````

I look for the step-by-step explanation.

I have network and users and want to create them emails .

Do you have a user that already gets mail?
If so, look in their home directory for either 'mail' or 'Maildir' depending on if you are using mbox or Maildir to store your mail. Then emulate that directory structure in you other user's directories and make sure your users own those new directories.

If you are using mbox I think you only need to create a 'mail' folder in their home directory. If it is Maildir, you need to create a Maildir directory containing a cur, new, and tmp directories.

Sendmail does not need to know what all users you have, it just gets an email to user@example.com.
-checks that it is supposed to get mail for example.com
-checks if there is a user called user on the machine.
-checks that user has directory to put mail.
-delivers mail.

Thank you all

Regards
