Add Mail User Accounts to use Mail Service.
This example is for the case you use OS user accounts.
Configure basic Postfix settings, and basic Dovecot settings first. |

| [1] | To use OS user accounts, that's only adding OS user like follows. |
|
# install mail client program root@mail:~ # pkg install -y s-nail # set environment variables to use Maildir root@mail:~ # echo 'export MAIL=$HOME/Maildir' >> /etc/profile.d/mail.sh
# add a user [freebsd] root@mail:~ # pw useradd freebsd -m root@mail:~ # passwd freebsd |
| [2] | Login as a user added in [1] and try to send an email. |
