You specifically ask about the using your table for aliases - under postgres you could do that fairly easily by making dbmail's "aliases" table a custom view. I don't know if recent mysql's support that or not, but might be an option. Also, that won't work for your users table .. you'd currently have to hack dbmail source to change that. That is a todo list feature, though. > Has anyone tried to combine their user authentication system with one of > the dbmail webmail clients?

This is going to use the users table, not aliases .. again, you'd have to hack the application to look at your table (though it's probably not terribly difficult if you know a little sql and php). > It seems wasteful to use IMAP in a setup where webmail is the only mail > access method required, otherwise i would try to make squirremail agree > with my authentication scheme and somehow re-authenticate over imap. > > any thoughts on this kind of setup? That's how all IMAP clients work - you give your login/password to squirrelmail and it authenticates to the server using them. -- Jesse Norell [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not my email address; change "administrator" to my first name. --
