def __init__(self, service, root, postmaster=0): (source)

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

def userDirectory(self, name): (source)
overrides twisted.mail.maildir.AbstractMaildirDomain.userDirectory
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

def addUser(self, user, password): (source)
overrides twisted.mail.maildir.AbstractMaildirDomain.addUser
Undocumented
def getCredentialsCheckers(self): (source)
overrides twisted.mail.maildir.AbstractMaildirDomain.getCredentialsCheckers
