If that's what you want to do I'm afraid you'll need to create separate Linux accounts. Each will have their own mailbox file, and somebody needs to own that file, i.e. a user for that account. If you don't want the users to be able to log in to the machine, just create the users with /sbin/nologin as their shell (see the -s option for useradd). Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
