[qmailtoaster] import a list of users
All, I have a listing of roughly 900 emails that I have to import to a toaster. I already have the server up and running and I have the list in a comma seperated txt file but how do I do a bulk add of the users. Thanks Q

well, if you populate the script in the format Firstname Lastname
Username Password, then you can change the while line to
while read FIRSTNAME LASTNAME USERNAME PASS
and it'll do what you want.
