we have taken  it a bit further and edited the admserver gui a bit (just
added one line).
this is what we have done on our RaQ3 boxes:
open /usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/siteUserAdd/siteUserAdd.cgi

find line 133 and add
system("/path/to/you/hourly/runned/script");


here it looks like (with the lines around it:
if ($ret) { # generate error message
   $info='<IMG SRC="/.cobalt/images/bang.gif" ALIGN=CENTER>' . $ret;
   print "location: $siteUserAddScriptURL\?group=$group&info=$info\n\n";
} else {
   system("/etc/cron.hourly/update-own.sh");
   print "location: $siteUserListScriptURL\n\n";
}


On raq4 etc. it should be fairly simple to do the same.


This runs the update script every time you add a new user. 


ohh btw! my update script looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
# create a current copy of the VirtUserTable for OpenWebmail
cp /etc/virtusertable /etc/virtusertable.owm
perl -pi -e "s/www\.//g"  /etc/virtusertable.owm
