I hope I do not misunderstand your requirements. You need not set up a system user to allow mail usage. You just create all your mail users in dovecot (/etc/dovecot/users) using doveadm and configure postfix to authenticate against dovecot (virtual mailboxes in postfix speech). The mail ist stored at e.g. /home/vmail/<domain>/<user> and everything is managed by dovecot (vmail being the dovecot process owner). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
