qmail - adding email accounts outside of plesk

[Saul Willers]

Anyone had any experience with adding email users outside of plesk?

Doesn't seem possible to set passwords for email address accounts outside of plesk.

Manually adding files for a new mail account to; .qmail file, Maildir files, virtualdomains entries as well as entry in /var/qmail/users/assign works fine. Email can be recieved to the new address.

Problem is with setting the new accounts password. Entries in /var/qmail/users/poppasswd seem to be ignored.

How does plesk get it's mail account users (from the mysql psa db, account table) to be recognised by qmail?

Thanks in advance.
