RE: [cobalt-users] AddUser within SSH

["Ian McCabe" <idmccabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I am actually trying to achieve is adding a user to a RaQ3 for a domain
which is not actually hosted as a virtual site on the RaQ. i.e. DNS is setup
for mail.domainname.com pointing to the RaQ3, but no virtual site is created
for mail.domain.com.

I Add a user of whatever is required to get the user into the system. Then
edit: /etc/virtusertable, add in @mail.domainname.com associated with that
new user I created and then carry out makemap hash /etc/virtusertable <
/etc/virtusertable.

I have been told that by doing this I can add POP and SMTP capabilities for
a user or multiple users which do not actually have a virtual site on the
RaQ, but does in effect provide email services for them....

And I going along the right lines here?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Ian
