26 Chapter 1 Mail Service Setup

Creating an Administration Account

You may need to create a mail administrator account to maintain and watch mail

folders, remove defunct user accounts, and archive mail. This administrator account

doesn’t need to be a server administrator. Also, this administrator account shouldn’t

receive mail. It is not a normal mail account.

To create a mail administrator account:

1 Create a user to be mail administrator.

2 If you have not created a user record for the mail administrator’s account, see the user

management guide.

3 Open /etc/imapd.conf in a text editor.

If you are not comfortable using a terminal text editor like emacs or vi, you can use

TextEdit.

4 Find the line that reads “admins:”

5 Edit the line to add the account name of the administrator account after the colon.

6 Save your changes.

For more information see the man page for imapd.conf.

Creating Additional Email Addresses for a User

Mail service allows each individual user to have more than one email address. Every

user has one email address that is formed from the short name of the user account. In

addition, you can define more names for any user account by creating an alias file. Each

additional name is an alternate email address for the user at the same domain. These

additional email addresses are not additional accounts that require separate quotas or

passwords. Most often alias files are used to map “postmaster” users to a real account

and give a “[email protected]” email address to a user with a short

To create an alias:

1 Create a file to be used as an alias list in /etc/aliases, if none exists.

2 For each alias, make a line in the file with the following format:

alias:localaddress1,localaddress2,...

For example, for your domain example.com, if you want to give username “bob” an

alias of “robert.fakeuser” you should enter:

robert.fakeuser: bob

This will take mail sent to your mail server for [email protected] and

actually send it to the real mail account [email protected].

3 Save your file changes.
