15.4 Typical Users Setup

The simplest arrangement makes a qmail user for all of the live users in the passwd file. In that case, in /var/qmail/users create an exclude file that lists all of the passwd entries that don't correspond to people, such as root, bin, daemon, uucp, ftp, and lpd. Then create a Makefile as described earlier in this chapter, and as the super-user type make. This creates a CDB with an entry for all of the un-excluded users.

Having excluded root, bin, and so forth from your users file, be sure to arrange for mail sent to those addresses to be delivered somewhere, because daemons tend to send reports to those addresses. Either create individual qmail files like ~alias/.qmail-root or, if you use fastforward, put the instructions in /etc/aliases.
