After I adduser, what is the command to add all the Maildir stuff into the users account?

su as the user and goto their home directory
then run

maildirmake ./Maildir

read up on maildirmake thats how you set quotas also and create shared folders.

Petie,

You can also just send the new user an email and postfix will properly create the Maildir directory for you.

Im not sure if *BSD has this option (still learning) but on Linux, they have an /etc/skel directory where you can place scripts. Every time you create a user, the process reads the /etc/skel directory and executes any scripts in there.

So I just stuck in a quick little script that will automatically create the users Maildir/ directories when I create the user...

Does *BSD have an option like that?

Just thought i'd share this since I figured out how to get this working automatically...

What you can do is, su to root and navigate to /etc/skel

When you are in there, type the following:

[code:1:d5a0643547]maildirmake Maildir[/code:1:d5a0643547]

Now, each time you create a user using useradd, it automatically creates the directories in /home/<user>

Taa Daa!!

Alternatively you can just configure /etc/adduser.conf to send a welcome message to each new user which would in turn make the Maildir automatically and also provide a nice little welcome message.
