Hi Philipp,

you can set the shell for the mail-only users from i.e. /bin/bash to
/bin/false or any other not existent program.
Have a look at your /etc/passwd and edit as mentioned.
This user cant't login without having a valid shell. POP3 and SMTP still
works fine for those users.

If you like users only to not use your sshd, go to your sshd config file
(/etc/ssh/sshd_config)
You can use the "DenyUsers" sshd directive.

entries are separated by spaces, like this:
DenyUsers user1 user2 user3 
 
OK?
 Rolf

Subject: new e-mail accounts (group 500 users)


Dear list-users,

If I make a new e-mail account for my sendmail it's the same as if I made a
new user account for the mail server. People could login e.g. through ssh.
How can I restrict access to only just the corresponding e-mail account so
users could not log on to the mail server by a terminal client?

Thank you

Philipp
