RE: Cannot creating user account with an & in qmailadmin
It's probably simply a problem with the shell's special treatment of &. I don't know how qmailadmin works, but we have a shell script for adding user accounts. In such cases, we have to call the command similar to: # create_user.sh f\&b That is, we quote the & character, and everything works fine. It's possible the qmailadmin would behave similarly.
