It's just one more thing to go wrong and I believe it should be done on
the front end with account creation where I can deal with it right away
and not on the back end when the user starts receiving e-mail.
In the 'modern world', that's not feasible either. I have multiple
(IMAP/POP/SMTP)
servers, and the admin interface is running on a third which does not accept
mail
in any way.
So scripting that (with rsh/ssh/rsync/whatever) is just as error prone.
And when/if we talk about user managed filters, then it's almost impossible
to manage the creation of Maildir's on the admin interface/frontend.
*shrug*. I must have been living in the 'stone ages' then. I was
running a mail system with 30k mailboxes, 4 SMTP servers, 4 POP
servers, 2 content filtering servers, 2 LDAP servers, and a back-end
file store (and a partridge in a pear tree) with the provisioning
interface on yet another box and I didn't have any troubles handling
Maildir creation in the provisioning scripts.
However, I'm sure that your setup is different and, for whatever
reason, you're unable to integrate that function to your satisfaction.
