Import users

This feature allows you to import users to the local post office. A comma delimited file that is formatted as emailaddress,password,quota must be used. Password and quota is optional. If not provided then default settings are used and domains will be created if necessary.

If quota limits are not specified in the file, these can be set to a certain limit, or unlimited.

If password settings are not specified in the file, a random password may be generated or a set password can be created for all imported users.
