Setting up mailboxes for all users in a group

Question

I have a group called users. It has many users.

Now I want every user in this group to have their own mailbox. So, for example, if john is such a user, then [email protected] is an e-mail address.

How can I accomplish this?

What mail server software are you using / would you like to use? — Lekensteyn, Apr 15 '11 at 08:45
Yes, `users` is in `etc/group`: `users:x:100:`. I'm using/like to use Postfix/Courier for this job. — www.data-blogger.com, Apr 15 '11 at 11:56

In a default postfix setup every mail to $USER@$HOSTNAME will be delivered to $USER. You don't need to set that up explicitly.

For a basic postfix setup this looks like a decent howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
