i'd like to create email accounts for my clients, but not have the accounts be established as a (hitherto useful) side effect of them being system accounts. i want to keep some existing system accounts and their resultant email accounts
currently, for me to add an account for client.com, e.g., [EMAIL PROTECTED], i have to do "useradd" for joe. i add client.com to my postfix main.cf as a domain to handle mail for. now, that gives me (vora) an email account at client.com. i want to have a distinct db of names for each domain (with mysql?) and have postfix look at that instead of looking at system accounts. i'd like to do this on a test db so that my clients don't lose any emails while i am messing about. i want to do the same thing for ftp (using proftpd), too. is mysql secure for doing this? thanks, vora > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:seawolf-list-admin@;redhat.com]On Behalf Of Mike Burger > Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 2:12 AM > To: Seawolf > Subject: Re: email question > > > Define "do something else", please...what, exactly do you want to do? > > On Mon, 28 Oct 2002, vvor wrote: > > > I've been using system accounts for the email accounts for the domains I am > > hosting on my seawolf. > > > > I would like to switch to some other way to do this.
