Hello,

Can someone please explain the idea of isp's ideas of users having multiple
mail boxes? As far as I can see it, either a domain has @domain.com in
/etc/mail/virtusers and can receive mail to_anyone@domain.com.

But for regular users (cable or dialup..non domain users) the only thing I can
think of is adduser with no for shell and /nonexistent/username for the home
dir. But then don't they have to set up a say 5 username/passwd combos in their
mail programs?  

Thanks in advance for the info and help

Oh by the way, if you run anonymous ftp, and you have incoming open, as I did.
I found today someone had uploaded 2.6 GB of warez games. Then noticed when
ssh'ing to that server, it was slow. ps auxw | more had pages and pages of ftpd
running. Just a caution for those that are a little trusting and open to abuse.
