I've been looking to replace the above qmail setup with exim/courier, using a mysql backend DB. I considered postfix, but as postfix does home directory lookups on complete email addresses instead of localpart/domain part, and doesn't let you do free-form queries, aliasing domains together looked like it wouldn't be possible without some ugly hack. I'm using http://mail.psknet.com/toaster/ as a starting point for now, and adapting it to meet what I needs. There are some rough web based front ends provided, written in php, but I think these would have to be altered a bit to be useable. The SQL can be a bit complex, but that keeps the database and the rest of the config much simpler and makes it more flexible. You can configure courier to use the same database and tables to find home directories (/home/vmail/domain.com/user/Maildir or wherever) as exim. > Preferly a solution w/ support : WebMail+https, all softwares w/LDAP Exim can be configured to use LDAP backend, but I decided against that as none of the schemas seemed to do quite what I wanted when it came to replacing qmail/vpopmail. > By the way , does anyone know a how-to, or someting else to guide us ??? The above url has a quite rough but fully featured system. A google for "exim pop toaster" has quite a few links, and there are many pages on doing similar things with postfix that can be adapted/expanded. As far as I know, there is no defacto howto/guide for this, however. Regards, Steven
