I think just adding a user with 'adduser <a_user_name>' (then 'passwd <a_user_name>' of course) would do it, unless you wanted aliases or something special. I would get the O'Reilly Sendmail 'Bat' Book if you want to use Sendmail effectively. >From my understanding Procmail is utilized by Sendmail for POP, so maybe I >am asking the wrong question. I simply need to create 70-80 user mailboxes. Sendmail is an MTA (Message Transfer Agent) which means it transfers outbound messages to other internet mail servers and it accepts inbound messages for local users. It uses local delivery agents (like Procmail) to put incoming email in local users mail storage boxes (it can do it self, but it is limited). It does not provide access (via POP3 or IMAP4 network protocols) to those mail storage boxes. RH71 should have both POP and IMAP servers available for installation, and if you have installed them, you can probably enable them with 'chkconfig'. How secure the default mail server options are, I do not know. >Secondly, what programs can I use to for IMAP capabilities, and access to >mailboxes via www. WWW options are available, I don't remember what they are, but they have been discussed in the semi-recent past (summer?). Look through the TCLUG archives. Good luck, Troy
