Create User for Milter MTA Agent

The Milter MTA agent must run as a designated user (it will not run as root). You must specify this user when you install the Milter MTA agent. This is your ‘Milter user’.

You can either specify an existing user as your Milter user or you can create a new user. If you create a new user, you must do so before you install the Milter MTA agent.

To create a new Milter user

Run this command as root:

useradd <user name> 

Where <user name> is the name of your Milter user. For example:

useradd miltuser
