The dbmail-adduser program enables you to manage the Dbmail users. It lets you add, delete and change users as well as show information about a specific user or display a list of existing users. It also has the capability of adding/removing separate aliases.

Options:

quiet

Holds for all options. Suppresses all output to stdout.

a

Add a user. Arguments:

username The username of the user to be added. This username is used for access and authentication (through pop3 or imap4).

password Cleartext password for user. If the password is preceeded by '{crypt:}' the (cleartext) password will be encrypted. If the password is preceeded by '{crypt}' the password on the command line is assumed to be already encrypted. If the password is preceeded by '{md5:}' the (cleartext) password will be saved as an md5 hash. If the password is preceeded by '{md5}' the password on the command line is assumed to be an md5 hash. If the password is preceeded by '{md5sum:}' the (cleartext) password will be saved as an md5 digest. If the password is preceeded by '{md5sum}' the password on the command line is assumed to be the md5 digest.

clientid This option enables users to be grouped. clientid specifies the owner of the user.

maxmail The maximum number of bytes that this user is allowed to have in her/his mailbox(es). Size is in bytes, kilobytes (if the specified size is followed by a 'k') or megabytes (if the specified size is followed by a 'M') If set to 0, there will be no limit.
