XMail's users are no real system account users. That is imho the big advantage of XMail, because you don't need 10000 system accounts for 10000 mail users (for ISPs like me). If you want system accounts, you'll have to think of a filter thats drops mails for specific users to /var/spool/mail or use an alternate MTA. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
