[courier-users] setting up courier questions
I am using courier as an MTA for quite a while now. Works nicely! Now a friend got himself one of this root servers and I suggested to him to use courier for his pop3 boxes and for everything else. I am looking for an easy method for him to create users on his box. He just needs virtual mail users, that do nothing else but mail. I don't think that can be done with webadmin or? Plus, anyone knows a german howto? His english is not too good. ev --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.

RE: [courier-users] setting up courier questions
I took the liberty of attaching 3 REALLY simple scripts to make adding and removing users easy. The idea is that I taught one of our administrative assistants (secretary) to log in to the mail server and type ncuser [EMAIL PROTECTED] for new users, ncpass [EMAIL PROTECTED] to reset a password and dcuser [EMAIL PROTECTED] to remove a user. The delete courier user (dcuser) script first zips up the email. These scripts have some assumptions: All users are virtual. All mail is owned by the same account. All mail is in /usr/mail/email address/Maildir. These three assumptions would be very easy to program out of the script, but I had no reason to do so. This uses userdb for authentication. It has worked really well here, but your mileage may vary. I hope these help you. If you have any question, please don't hesitate to ask. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evelyn Pichler Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 1:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [courier-users] setting up courier questions I am using courier as an MTA for quite a while now.

Re: [courier-users] setting up courier questions
Hi, I needed to do the same thing and found the phpCourier project. This has worked out excellent for me. Exactly the tools I was looking for. You can find the info and the product from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpcourier/ Hope this is relevant, Alan -- Original Message -- From: Evelyn Pichler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2003 20:18:25 +0100 I am using courier as an MTA for quite a while now.

He just needs virtual mail users, that do nothing else but mail. I don't think that can be done with webadmin or? I have a Perl script that handles most of the account/domain administration for simple virtual addresses. It expects userdb and maildrop. The script is able to do the following: - Create email accounts - Automatically create domains if needed (add to hosteddomains and esmtpacceptmailfor) - Change passwords (specified or random generation) - Set/remove quotas - Set/remove forwarding (as long as the .mailfilter does nothing else) - Delete email accounts - Delete domains - List information on specific accounts or entire domains (account names, quotas, current size, forwarding) - The delete actions show the current state and prompt for confirmation before continuing. At the moment, the script makes several assumptions about the locations of the accounts, the uid/gid to create them with, the location of the courier config files, etc. If there is interest, I can clean up the script and make it available.

I would like to have that. No need to clean it up for me, I could do that. ev I have a Perl script that handles most of the account/domain administration for simple virtual addresses.
