hi!
   I want to serve virtual email hosting on my linux machine.  im using
redhat 6.2 and sendmail.

say i have domain1, domain2 and domain3.


1. can i use /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for my user entries? what is
the max no of entry? can i go for as much as a hundred thousand users?


2. i tried to configure virtual email hosting via linuxconf.  i added
the 3 domains above. further checking i found that the system generated
the ff:

*sendmail.cf with these entries:
CV mail.domain1.com
CV mail.domain1.com
CV mail.domain3.com    


* /etc/vmail with the ff: files.

                             shadow.mail.domain1.com
passwd.mail.domain1.com      shadow.mail.domain2.com
passwd.mail.domain2.com      shadow.mail.domain3.com
passwd.mail.domain3.com                          

BUT with 0 entries.

question1:  how do i add users to these files??
question2:  say i use Eudora, how it will authenticate? would it be via
/etc/shadow or /etc/vmail/shadow.DOMAIN??


i still have a lot of questions re subject, but if you can give me some
words on how to serve virtual email hosting will be a lot of help.


thanks guys!
