To prevent shell access/logins for a particular user, edit the /etc/passwd file (preferably with vipw) and change each user's shell from (for example) "/bin/bash" to "/bin/true". "/bin/false" also seems to work--I'm not clear if there's any reason to use one over the other. Anyone want to clarify that? Perhaps I misunderstood your question, though: By "a bunch of accounts", did you mean accounts for different people, or do you merely want to use numerous e-mail addresses for yourself at the same server? In the latter case, you'll want to set up aliases in your SMTP software. I use qmail, which like sendmail uses the /etc/aliases file (along with the newaliases command) to set up aliases for each user. Search the docs for whatever SMTP software you use for "alias" and you'll probably be able to find out how to do that.
