Re: virtual users ?

i guess what i'm after is the ability to auto created virtual users if
they successfully authenticate !

so..

if [email protected] tries to authenticate but does not exist on our
internal pop3 server, no auth, no access, no setup

but

if [email protected], who has a pop3 account on our internal server,
tries to authenticate, auth, success, create virtual user and setup
tmda for new virtual user.

get it ?


p.s. i think "contrib/vadduser-tmda" is kinda what i'm after but to be
honest have no idea how to use it.
