[Pkg-exim4-users] Re: Second try to define "virtual"

[Alex King]

Just a suggestion:

you define

Non-System User

An e-mail address that is not associated with a local system account but 
which uses the local part as input for the routing decision. Incoming 
mail for such addresses can either be delivered to a non-system mail 
spool, a “real” system user or forwarded elsewhere.

This is frequently called a “Virtual User”

My suggestion:

Non-System User has the potential for just as much confusion as Virtual 
User. The System User/Non-System User distinction could be seen as 
uid<1000 vs. uid>1000.

Perhaps another name should be found, although I don't have a good 
alternative. Non-local user would be one way to say it, although in an 
MTA context this is even more confusing. How about Non-UNIX user? 
Non-Local Account user?

Cheers,
Alex
