Hi, I'm still figthing with passwd-file, virtual users and permissions.

I have created the directory /var/spool/virtual/test and inside I've done a "maildirmake Maildir". I have a couple of questions :

I use the same passwd-file for auth_userdb and as auth_passdb.

1. What program can I use to create the userdb file ? What I do now is to use the htpasswd program and then I complete by hand the rest of the fields (uid:group:GECOS:home:shell)

htpasswd userdb test password: xxx again: xxx

And then vi userdb

test@test.com:ssasZXc00P1H6:502:102::/var/spool/virtual/test/:/bin/false <--by hand.

I think that if I want to offer virtual mail with imap is very tedious to complete user by user.

(If this second question does not fall in this list, then don't answer it) 2) I know that postfix delivers in Maildir format, and when the user is a virtual user, I do the next

Modify the virtual file ---> test@test.com test.test.com Modify the aliases file--> test.test.com: /var/spool/virtual/test/Maildir postmap hash:virtual postaliases hash:aliases postfix reload

but when I do a "echo testing | sendmail test@test.com " I receive an error

I'm confused about permissions. I set the /var/spool/virtual to dovecot.postfix and the permissions are drwxrwx---

Thanks a lot.
