It’s fine that mlmmj package leaves the tasks (create user/group, etc) to sysadmin. P.S. i’d prefer to use ‘/var/spool/mlmmj’ as HOME directory of mlmmj program instead of ‘/home/XXX’ and set it’s shell to /sbin/nologin’. ---- Zhang Huangbin, founder of iRedMail project: http://www.iredmail.org/ Time zone: GMT+8 (China/Beijing).
