Handling mail for non-system users with Exim4?

Posted by sabin on Thu 1 Dec 2005 at 11:50

I run Debian Sarge on my main server at home which provides different services. I also run exim4, courier-imap-(ssl), squirrelmail and spamd as my mail setup on this box. Now I am wondering how I could give different users email accounts whithout adding them system-wide as users.

I have setup exim4, imapd and squirrelmail to allow system users to use it. How would I make exim deliver mails for nonexistent system users to defined inboxes ?

I should mention that I have also mysql running which could be an option for authentificating users.

Does anyone know about an HOWTO, which fits my needs or can give me hints/help me with that?

I'd also like to make dspam work for every user I'd add.

Thanks alot in advance, Sabin
