Is there a way to set a welcome message that is sent when a
postmaster creates an e-mail account?
Modify vpopmail sources for vadddomain not only creating
Maildir but copying an e-mail to 'Maildir/new' too.
This sure is a pain to do every time you update vpopmail. I sure
hope this feature gets accepted into the distribution one day
Write the code, write it good, stable and secure, and submit it.
Maybe it's merged with vpopmail-core and no rewrite will be
necessary.
Some good code was already submitted and it was rejecte because they
didn't want feature bloat.
Than go the opposite way:
wrap 'vadduser' with a small script.
e.g.
---
#!/bin/bash
usage() {
echo $0 username welcome_message
}
put_welcome_message() {
USER=$1
FILE_SRC=$2
FILE=${FILE_SRC##*/}
TEMP=$(vuserinfo ${USER} |grep '^dir:')
DIR=${TEMP#dir:}
pushd ${DIR} /dev/null || return 2
cp $FILE_SRC Maildir/new/${FILE}
chmod 600 Maildir/new/$FILE
chown --reference=. Maildir/new/${FILE}
}
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
usage;
exit 1;
fi
USER=$1
FILE=$2
vadduser ${USER} put_welcome_message ${USER} ${FILE}
exit $?

Can't be THAT hard for a person having to administrate a MTA, can't it?
