    Off the top of my head, /scripts/addpop (or something similar).

    Take a look at the contents of /scripts and view the contents of a script to figure out what it does. If you can't figure out what a script does by looking through the contents, you'd probably be best of leaving it alone.

    Hi warrence,
    Did you got any results with /scripts/addpop from commend line?
    If so, can you share that info?
    Thanks
    Gustavo

    The following appeared to be working for me.

    /scripts/addpop user_id@virtual_domain.com user_password

    But this did not set the email quota for the user.

    I figured out that if I edit

    /home/account_name/etc/virtual_domain.com/quota and add a line with

    user_id:quota_in_bytes

    it takes care of the quota setting.

    BTW: 1K of quota = 1024, 1M = 1024x1024
