I give individual accounts e-mail only access by giving them a standard e-mail account but setting their home directory and their login shell to /dev/null or /dev/false. So, an entry in the passwd file looks like this: user1:x:101:103::/dev/null:/dev/null Which gives them and e-mail account, but no other access.
