38 Chapter 1 Mail Service Setup

Creating an Administration Account

You may need to create a mail administrator account to maintain and watch mail

folders, remove defunct user accounts, and archive mail. This administrator account

doesn’t need to be a server administrator. Also, this administrator account shouldn’t

receive mail. It isn’t a normal mail account.

To create a mail administrator account:

1 Create a user to be mail administrator.

2 If you haven’t created a user record for the mail administrator’s account, see the user

management guide.

3 Open /etc/imapd.conf in a text editor.

If you aren’t comfortable using a terminal text editor like emacs or vi, you can use

TextEdit.

4 Find the line that reads “admins:”

5 Edit the line to add the account name of the administrator account after the colon.

6 Save your changes.

For more information see the man page for imapd.conf.

Creating Additional Email Addresses for a User

Mail service allows each individual user to have more than one email address, called an

“alias.” Every user has one email address that’s formed from the short name of the user

account. In addition, you can define more names for any user account by creating an

alias file. Each additional name is an alternate email address for the user at the same

domain. These additional email addresses aren’t additional accounts that require

separate quotas or passwords. Most often alias files are used to map “postmaster” users

to a real account and give a “firstname.lastname@example.com” email address to a user

with a short login account name.

There are two methods for creating email aliases: Mac OS X Server-style, and Postfix-

style. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Mac OS X Server-style aliases are

easy to make, and are listed with a user’s login name. You can easily see what alias

refers to which user. The downside of this kind of alias is that mail service’s Sieve

functionality doesn’t understand Mac OS X Server-style aliases and will not filter mail

based on the Mac OS X Server-style alias.
