How would I go about adding an account to Postfix and secure it with a password?
I've already setup everything else, and root works.

The simple way to add a user is to simply add a new account on the system. Postfix will handle the rest. For example, on my server running Ubuntu, I'd just use adduser username , and Postfix would just do the right thing with regard to sending mail to that user, delivered locally.
1) Login to your Webmin control panel using the port 10000. 2) Go to System >> Users and Groups. 3) From the page, click on “Create a new user” link. 4) Now, you need to fill the form with appropriate information such as username, user id, Real name, Home directory, password, and shell.
The simple way to add a user is to simply add a new account on the system. Postfix will handle the rest.
If you don't want to create a system account for the user, you should have a virtual domain set up that is not configured as a mydestination domain. For more on this, be sure to read the Postfix guide on virtual domain hosting.
