     qmail-users - assign mail addresses to users

OOOOVVVVEEEERRRRVVVVIIIIEEEEWWWW
     The file ////vvvvaaaarrrr////qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll////uuuusssseeeerrrrssss////aaaassssssssiiiiggggnnnn assigns addresses to users.
     For example,

        =joe.shmoe:joe:503:78:/home/joe:::

     says that mail for jjjjooooeeee....sssshhhhmmmmooooeeee should  be  delivered  to  user
     jjjjooooeeee,   with   uid   503   and   gid   78,  as  specified  by
     ////hhhhoooommmmeeee////jjjjooooeeee////....qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll.

     Assignments fed to qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----nnnneeeewwwwuuuu will be used  by  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn
     to  control qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllooooccccaaaallll's deliveries.  See qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----nnnneeeewwwwuuuu(8).  A
     change to ////vvvvaaaarrrr////qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll////uuuusssseeeerrrrssss////aaaassssssssiiiiggggnnnn will have no effect  until
     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----nnnneeeewwwwuuuu is run.

     ////vvvvaaaarrrr////qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll////uuuusssseeeerrrrssss////aaaassssssssiiiiggggnnnn is a series of assignments, one  per
     line.   It  ends with a line containing a single dot.  Lines
     must not contain NUL.

     A simple assignment is a line of the form

        =local:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:ext:

     Here _l_o_c_a_l is an address; _u_s_e_r, _u_i_d, and _g_i_d are the account
     name,  uid, and gid of the user in charge of _l_o_c_a_l; and mes-
     sages to _l_o_c_a_l will be controlled by _h_o_m_e_d_i_r////....qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll_d_a_s_h_e_x_t.

     If there are several assignments for the same _l_o_c_a_l address,
     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn will use the first one.

     _l_o_c_a_l is interpreted without regard to case.

WWWWIIIILLLLDDDDCCCCAAAARRRRDDDD AAAASSSSSSSSIIIIGGGGNNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTTSSSS
     A wildcard assignment is a line of the form

        +loc:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:pre:

     This assignment applies to any address beginning  with  _l_o_c,
     including _l_o_c itself.  It means the same as

        =locext:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:preext:

     for every string _e_x_t.

     A  more  specific  wildcard  assignment  overrides  a   less
     specific  assignment,  and a simple assignment overrides any
     wildcard assignment.  For example:

        +joe-:joe:507:100:/home/joe:-::
        =joe:joe:507:100:/home/joe:::

     The address jjjjooooeeee is handled by the third  line;  the  address
     jjjjooooeeee----ddddiiiirrrreeeecccctttt  is  handled by the second line; the address bbbbiiiillllllll
     is handled by the first line.
