Create a new user without email?

[MarmaladeMan]

I'm in a position where there are many people I need to create user accounts for (in my case, specifically to allow SSH access to connect to SVN), but don't intend to provide email accounts for. I don't want these users to be able to send email through my domain. Is it possible to restrict that in any way?

Something like the FTP/CGI access checkboxes, but for email accounts instead, to allow/restrict functionality would be very useful. Is anything like that planned for the future?

Thanks!

At this time there's no direct way to disable e-mail access for users. That's the one and only service implicitly allowed every time.

Dang. Thanks anyway!

While not foolproof, you could use Esprit to set up aliases for the actual user names which would direct any inbound mail they get to you (or to /dev/null). That wouldn't keep them from sending mail, but they certainly wouldn't be able to receiving mail at your domain.

That assumes that the aliases are processed before attempted delivery to actual users, which I think is the case. (Right Matt?)

That would be correct, but they'd still have outbound access so it only solves half of the problem :).
