email_account is a helper to create e-mail accounts in a configuration using Postfix mail transport agent with vhosts and Cyrus IMAP server, in a Debian environment. It allows to simply create an e-mail account and an alias for it in one command: email_account me@mydomain.org my.evil.double@mydomain.org If you don't want an alias, you can just create the account: email_account me@mydomain.org You can also create an alias for an existing account: email_account me@mydomain.org my.clone@mydomain.org To use this script, you have to be root, or to be able to execute commands with root privileges through sudo. You should install it in a directory within the PATH of the root user, such as /usr/local/sbin.
