Thanks Peter, that helps! OK, so what I did was I created a user called courieruser and the system, for example, give it a uid of 3 and a gid of 4. I did an alter table on passwd so that the uid/gid default to those values and I did an update on the table to apply those values to any existing records.
I'm assuming I need to do a maildirmake as that user to create the maildir. My question (maybe this is more than I need to know) is how does Courier use a single maildir for multiple users. Specifically, if I insert a new user into the MySQL table, will the users virtual maildir be created automatically? --Tony On Thu, 2002-01-17 at 11:34, Peter C.
