Actually they are user accounts on the system. The complication is that
the transport runs as a different user (vmail) so that it can access the
Courier-IMAP maildirs.
There's numerous ways you could do this - the simplest probably adding something like
"local_parts = list : of : usernames" to your router, or these could
come from a file list of users, eg
"local_parts = /a/file/with/a/listofusernames",
or any other type of Exim lookup type.
Is this a simple way to create a virtual user list cos that might be
quite handy?
You could also only deliver the mail if the user's directory already
exists. If I remember rightly, some time ago a "directory list" type
lookup was written (by Matthew Byng-Maddick I think?), but I can't
find this with a quick look, although a better search of the docs
than I've done would probably find out more.
Havn't found this yet but I'm still looking.
Thanks
