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?
