SQL: Create new mail user
!!! attention
This document is applicable to iRedMail-0.9.6 and later releases.
If you're running iRedMail-0.9.5-1 or earlier releases, please check
tutorial [SQL: Bulk create new mail users](./sql.bulk.create.mail.users.html)
instead.
iRedMail ships the shell script tools/create_mail_user_SQL.sh
to help you
create new mail user quickly. With some shell scripting trick, it's easy to
create many mail users.
Sample usage:
- Create the mail domain name
example.com
with iRedAdmin first. - Create a new mail user with the shell script:
# cd iRedMail-0.9.6/tools/
# bash create_mail_user_SQL.sh user1@example.com plain_password
It will print SQL commands used to create this new user, you can save it to a file, then login to SQL server as root user and import this file. for example:
- MySQL or MariaDB:
# cd iRedMail-0.9.6/tools/
# bash create_mail_user_SQL.sh user1@example.com plain_password > user.sql
# mysql -uroot -p
sql> USE vmail;
sql> SOURCE user.sql;
- PostgreSQL:
# cd iRedMail-0.9.6/tools/
# bash create_mail_user_SQL.sh user1@example.com plain_password > /tmp/user.sql
# su - postgres
$ psql -d vmail
sql> \i output.sql;
Don't forget to remove /tmp/user.sql.
