qmail-newuser - prepare address assignments for qmail-
lspawn
SYNOPSIS
qmail-newuser
DESCRIPTION
qmail-newuser reads the assignments in
/var/qmail/users/assign and writes them into
/var/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format suited for quick
access by qmail-lspawn.
If there is a problem with users/assign, qmail-newuser
complains and leaves users/cdb alone.
qmail-newuser ensures that users/cdb is updated atomi-
cally, so qmail-lspawn never has to wait for qmail-newuser
to finish. However, qmail-newuser makes no attempt to
protect against two simultaneous updates of users/cdb.
The binary users/cdb format is portable across machines.
