All have there own separate email accounts but how do I do that without creating a new linux user each time?
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).

Ok my next question to that is how can I back all that info up, what
files do I need to copy. So if I have a server crash or want to upgrade
I won't have to recreate all those accounts again?
