Hello,

I have set up a box which will act as our Mail-Server.

How should I set up the permissions for user which only are allowed to use mail on this System. (Sending by SMTP getting via popper)

Which shell should I give them? Which would be the best home-directory?

I used /bin/passwd (or a script with /bin/passwd; sleep 5 inside) as shell and no home dir.
