Sorry... should have been a bit clearer... Am wanting to use the 'userdb' feature of courier, and thought that the courier-mta may support this.... Otherwise, I am looking at * Postfix uses virtual_mailbox_map for usernames (and uid) delivery * Postfix uses sasl(1) and sasldb for SMTP AUTH * Courier uses 'userdb' for password, and UID.... -> And a shell script to keep them all in sync. Mysql and ldap are a bit overkill, and I don't like /etc/passwd as I don't want users which shell accounts 'accidently continously' talking to a pop3/ imap server. Unfortunately cyrus in woody is a very old version, and doesnt support sasl! :-( so This effectively leaves me with the postfix courier solution. (and no, I don't want to start using unstable, as last time I did this, I didnt pay attention, and next thing I new, glibc was unstable! :-( ) Thanks for any advice Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
