3. The mails in the /var/spool/mail/some-user file contain a line "Status: O" when they are new and this changes to "Status: RO" when they are read.
2) You can use the newusers command.
1. you can use sendmail aliases (normally under /etc/aliases)
2. I used a C code to generate the encrypted password, and I call my C fuintion from almost eferywhere (I didn't use shadow when deploying this solution).
3. It depends on where the "mailbox" is... and the way your clients read their mail from the server...
