I'm learning Postfix on an OSX box. I haven't gotten anywhere near
propagating my SIMS users over and going online yet.
I'm confused about users in a massively newbie way:
I've successfully tested Postfix receiving from and sending to a user
on the OSX box if that user has a regular account, home folder and
all, etc. But do I have to create a full user acct, home directory
and all, for *every* user, to be able to receive and store mail for
that user? All mail is stored in /var/mail/username, not anywhere in
the user's home folder, AFAICT.
If I use NetInfo Manager to create a user without a home folder, that
username shows up as a presumably accessible Postfix mailbox, but I
would have to add quite a bit more info to make it a useable acct
(passwd etc).
I'm much more familiar with Linux, normally I would user adduser
without a home directory, but there is no adduser/useradd on Darwin
that I can tell.
This is not OSX Server software, but I -should- be able to do this
without its admin tools.
Just need a little nudge in this direction - what am I missing?
