New User/Mail setup question. PLEASE help.
OK, here's the situation. Our regular computer guy left the company without warning. We are in the process of replacing him with someone much more knowlegeable than I, but as of right now, I have been handed the duties. Our mail server is running OpenBSD and I need to set up a new employee with an email account. I am very VERY superficially acquianted with unix. I know ls and cd and mkdir and rmdir and like 6 other things. However, I do know IP address of our mail server, and how to set up the windows end of his account (In thunderbird) etc. etc. So, I'm really just needing the Unix end of the equation.
Can anyone either point me to a site that will give me step-by-step instructions or list them here?
Again, I just need to set a new employee up with an email account in OpenBSD. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a million.
