Method Details

### __init__(self, service, root, postmaster=0) (Constructor) Initialize The first argument is where the Domain directory is rooted. The second is whether non-existing addresses are simply forwarded to postmaster instead of outright bounce The directory structure of a MailddirDirdbmDomain is: /passwd <-- a dirdbm file /USER/{cur,new,del} <-- each user has these three directories

### authenticateUserAPOP(self, user, magic, digest, domain) Return Mailbox to valid APOP authentications Check the credentials, returning None if they are invalid or a MaildirMailbox if they are valid.

### userDirectory(self, name) Get the directory for a user If the user exists in the dirdbm file, return the directory os.path.join(root, name), creating it if necessary. Otherwise, returns postmaster's mailbox instead if bounces go to postmaster, otherwise return None
