How to manually create virtual e-mail account.

[xexull]

Hello!

I use DirectAdmin on CentOS 5.5 and I have some questions. How can I make manually ("in bash terminal") virtual e-mail account for example with main hostname.


Thanks for answer!

quota Integer in Megabytes. Zero for unlimited, 1+ for number of Megabytes.

That would create a virtual email account on user domain. If you want one with hostname, then create a linux user with

useradd
