I'm migrating all our servers to a new host, which seems like a good opportunity to fix some annoying things.
In particular email: At the moment we're using exim4 and some pop3 server or another and squirrel-mail.
Whenever they ask me to create a new email account, I have to add a new user account for the whole machine. Making an /etc/passwd entry, giving shell access (which I then take away again), making a home directory etc. All just so they can collect email.
This seems inefficent
