I have written a PHP script to try and create user accounts for the mecury mail in the USERS directory however after creating the user and adding the user name to the PEGASUS.PM file, it refuses to accept connections from the usernames... What can i do?

If you manipulate the user list externally Mercury will need to be told to reload it. You can do this by writing a message file in the queue directory with a command to maiser (the built-in mail server account).

The file should have the filename extention .101 and start with:

$$ admin@domain.com
maiser@domain.com

and a blank line.

The message should be:

PASSWORD mypassword
RELOAD USERS
EXIT

/Rolf
