Hi there

It has recently come to our attention here that it is becoming more
necessary for mail to be held for non-system users (ie to be relayed at a
later stage for other users, but not necessarily users that will use this
particular POP/SMTP server). In this case, we would like to create an assign
file (we don't use this at the moment) containing the entries for every user
in the passwd file, and want it to work straight away without any problems.
We are using a combined system that implements NIS and NFS and at the moment
this works fine. If an NIS or NFS link goes down, mail is simply deferred
(not bounced) for a week, without an assign file (contrary to what the FAQ
says). It must still work this way after the change. Does anybody know of a
script, or can even tell me what needs to be done to copy the entries over
(automatically, not manual entry)? - I can make a script no probs.

Thanks for your time
