Mail Server : Add Mail User Accounts2019/08/02

 
Add Mail User Accounts to use Mail Service.
This example is for the case you use OS user accounts.
Configure basic Postfix settings, and basic Dovecot settings first.
[1] To use OS user accounts, that's only adding OS user like follows.
# install mail client

root@mail:~#
apt -y install mailutils
# set environment variables to use Maildir

root@mail:~#
echo 'export MAIL=$HOME/Maildir/' >> /etc/profile.d/mail.sh
# add an OS user [debian]

root@mail:~#
adduser debian

[2] Login as a user added in [1] and try to send an email.
# send to myself [mail (username)@(hostname)]

debian@mail:~$
