If you run
# /home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser
you'll see the various options.
Looks like you need to use the -e flag with a password. This lets you
specify a standard_encrypted_password.
John, you'll need to have encrypted passwords to use this option.

Hi PakOgah,
Thanks for modifying the script. However, when I run the script, it asks to
"Please enter password" for each user, then asks to re-enter the password for
confirmation, before going onto the next user. A step in the right direction,
but still would like to have the passwords added within the script.
So, still looking for the part where the users password is entered by the
script and not manually.
Thanks,
John

Halo John,
I am replied to qmailtoaster list so everyone can also use it as
reference for future use or correct me If I am making an error.
In your case, I have modified the script into below
===============================
#!/bin/sh
#
# 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 "[email protected]"
# helped me with.
# Still very manual, but Work in Progress
#
# Suggestions to [email protected]
#
# Change a few variables and you are good to go
#
#
# Location of the users file
# Rememeber that the users file is in the format
# Firstname Lastname Username Password
USERS_FILE="/path/to/file.txt"
# The mail domain to which users are created
#
MAILDOMAIN="@domain.com"
# the vadduser command
QMAILADD="/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser"
# Select a default password for all users
#PASS="mypass"
#Specify the Default Quota_in_bytes for your Users
# 10 MB = 10 x 1024 x 1024
QUOTA="10485760"
#Fun starts here No more variables to change below this line
cat ${USERS_FILE} | \
while read FIRSTNAME LASTNAME USERNAME PASSWORD
do
echo "adding the user: $USERNAME"
$QMAILADD -q $QUOTA -c "$FIRSTNAME $LASTNAME"
$USERNAME$MAILDOMAIN $PASSWORD
done
#

Hi,
I'm looking at using this script for a bulk user import, but the users have
passwords all ready, so I don't want to use the same default password for
everyone. What changes would I need in the script so I can use it with a
separate password for each user?
I was thinking the format for the users file could just include the extra line
for the password.
Firstname Lastname Username Password
#!/bin/sh

do
echo "adding the user: $USERNAME"
$QMAILADD -q $QUOTA -c "$FIRSTNAME $LASTNAME" $USERNAME$MAILDOMAIN
$PASS
done
