Does users/cdb supplement regular users or is it an alternative to
them? In other words, if I have a users/assign and users/cdb with a
set of entries that doesn't include all valid local users, will mail
to one of the non-cdb users bounce?
The qmail-spawn man page says it won't:
For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds out which
local user controls that address. It first checks the
qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not listed there,
it invokes qmail-getpw.
The /var/qmail/docs/PIC*2local files say it won't:
| Is fred listed in qmail-users? No.
| Is there a fred account? Yes.
The qmail-lspawn.c code is kind of dense, but appears to follow the
documentation.
But when I added a dummy user (not in users/assign) to the one system
where I use qmail-users, mail to that user bounced. When I ran
qmail-pw2u and qmail-newu, mail to the dummy was delivered
locally. And when I removed the dummy entries from users/assign and
re-ran qmail-newu, mail again bounced:
