They're only shadow accounts so that we can maintain referential integrity
between messages, mailboxes, and users. Full accounts cannot be
autocreated.

There are options to create aliases that will accept all mail for a given
domain, all subdomains, a single username for all domains, etc. See
dbmail-users(8) man page for examples.

for it if you'd please :-)
