Jamnntpd users file has the 5th field which is used for sending/reading
private netmail messages. It may contain multiple names to receive netmail,
but the first name is always used for outbound.

# User configuration file for JamNNTd
#
# Syntax:
#
#     []
#
# "*" means "all groups" and "-" means "no groups".
#
# Optionally, you can also specify one or more "real" names for the user.
# Multiple names are separated by a comma. It is necessary to supply
# realnames if you want to use JamNNTPd with netmail as users can only read
# netmails to or from one of these names. It is possible to use the "?"
# and "*" wildcards in the realnames.
#
# It it also only possible for a user to cancel messages that were written
# by a name that matches their realnames.
#
# When a user posts a message, the first realname is used as the from name
# unless it contains wildcards. If the first realname contains wildcards or
# if no realnames are supplied, the from name is taken from the From: header
# line of the posted message.
#
# If you use non-ascii characters in the realname, they should be in the
# character set used on the NNTP side, most often iso-8859-1.
