In the setup how-to it has the following instructions (with my questions)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add email upload support (optional)
-----------------------------------
1) Create a user called peffisaur on your system

Q: DOES THIS MEAN ADDING A FOLDER TO MY SITE AND NAMING IT "/PEFFISAUR" ?

2) Copy the .procmailrc file to the peffisaur user's home directory.

Q:COPY IT TO THE "/PEFFISAUR" FOLDER, RIGHT?

3) Copy the recmail.pl to the same home directory

Q:ALSO COPY IT TO THE "/PEFFISAUR" FOLDER, RIGHT?

4) Edit recmail.pl so that the variables password and msgstore fit
your system

I THINK I'VE GOT THIS ONE!

5) Setup your email server to catch all unknown email addresses and
send it to the peffisaur user. Consult your email server's
documentation on how to do that.

Q:DOES THIS MEAN I SETUP AN EMAIL ACCOUNT FOR: PEFFISAUR@MYSITE.COM AND REDIRECT MAIL TO IT ?

Abundant thanks in advance for setting me straight!

1) Yes, but usually user accounts are created in /home and not by hand but by using an admintool or by using the adduser (or useradd) command

2) Yes

3) Yes

4) Good

5) Yes, you need an accound and like that and then you setup a filter in the /etc/valias file so that all email to the domain goes to the peffisaur user.

Thanks, really appreciate your help! I'll go through everything again and try to get it all to work.
