Jill, Here is the script we use to add users, their password etc., you will
probably want to modify it to suit your needs. BTW, 'replicate' is just a
script run by cron to copy various configuration files between servers, in
this case the aliases file gets sent to our old mail server which is
currently defined as mx1 in our dns. We use a similar script to delete users.
Regards
Noel
