#  BULK USER ADDING FOR QMAIL TOASTER
#
# Created after I ran into an issue of creating 20,000 users on my toaster!
# Initial ideas come from a script that PakOgah "pakogah@pala.bo-tak.info"
# helped me with.
# Still very manual, but Work in Progress
#
# Suggestions to akisakye@ucu.ac.ug
#
# Change a few variables and you are good to go
