 ===== Create a user and store for the e-mail =====
-We should use a different user/group for this and all mail will be owned by that user/group. Additionally, we don't want a login, so we'll set the shell to /dev/false. We'll also tell the adduser script to not create the home directory (we'll create it ourselves),

 Message store (ie, home directory) can be anyplace. I'm going to set it up in /srv/vmail. This will be the head of a tree of subdirectories for individual users. Note, I use useradd (vs Debian's adduser) for simplicity.
 <code bash>
-useradd --home-dir /srv/vmail --no-create-home --shell /dev/false --user-group --comment 'Used for vmail only' vmail
+useradd --home-dir /srv/vmail --no-create-home --shell /bin/false --user-group --comment 'Used for vmail only' vmail
 mkdir -p /srv/vmail
 chmod 755 /srv/vmail
