Managing Mail Users

Doing the fiddly stuff with Postfix, Cyrus etc.

Deleting Mail Users

Removing mail accounts from Postfix, Cyrus and SASL

Quite obviously, the reverse of Creating Users

For a default domain account you can only remove any aliases in /etc/mail/aliases
For a virtual domain you need to remove the entry from vmailbox and any associated aliases from virtual and virtual_pcre

Finally, inform Postfix of the changes:

(cd /etc/postfix; gmake)

Delete the mailbox

Note

You need to give permission to cyrus to delete the mailbox first!

cyradm --user cyrus localhost

sam user.username@domain cyrus all
dm user.username@domain

That should have physically removed the mailbox from the disk.

/usr/local/cyrus-sasl-*/sbin/saslpasswd2 -d username@domain
