Hi,

I am not quite sure what the USER and EMAIL are here? Can someone explain elaborate a bit?

Thanks!

The USER adds a non-root user to the server. Email sent to the server can be delivered to this user although accessing it by Dovecot and/or webmail has not been implemented yet.

EMAIL is a destination email address used to set up /etc/aliases, so emails generated by the software on the server are being sent to this address (With email for the nobody user being sent to /dev/null).
