I have written a few shell scripts.
They are based on the tip given on the qmail-homepage on how to make qmail
work for a lot of different domains & users without an os-user for every
account (by using users/assign & virtualdomains).
This script can
.) create domains (on the fly - with a suid-c-programm that send sighup to
qmail.
.) create users in the domains
.) set the pop-password
.) define forwards
.) protect users & domains from being deleted
.) supports "notifying" users with pop-account of new mail by sending them a
finger for the user nm_notifymail.
The whole thing is quite usable, but I fear it�s no very portable - one
could even say "dirty design"... ;-)
