At work, we're looking at hosting a Large Number of email accounts. I've successfully convinced at least my immediate boss that it would make sense to go with something sendmail/procmail-based, running under something unixy. Now I'm being asked a lot of questions about details which are a little out of my depth... The primary part that I'm not familiar with is running mail accounts without corresponding system (login) accounts. I assume that this is standard for large mail hosts, but wouldn't mind being told that I'm wrong. If this is what we're likely to want to do, where can I find information on how to do it? (OTOH, we need per-user procmail configurations, which implies that the users would need something like a home directory. Which could easily mean that the better course would be to set them up as real system accounts and give them /bin/false as their shell.) -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
