Hi You need a smtpd server which is native to BSD and supports auth backends
Have a look here https://www.fehcom.de/sqmail/sqmail.html I use it with dovecot with mysql auth backend, sqlmail basically calls a dovadmin socket to authenticate, so no need for mysql as long as you can login to dovecot pop3 or imap T -----Original Message----- From: owner-m...@openbsd.org <owner-m...@openbsd.org> On Behalf Of Roderick Sent: 24 September 2020 14:33 To: Hakan E. Duran <ehakandu...@gmail.com> Cc: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: ideas needed for password management (1) I would separate login to Email (smtp+imap authentication) from any other login (to machine) as many people told you here. (2) Perhaps write a cgi script? But that needs a lot of care due to security. (3) offer a web mailer that has this service? Prayer webmail has this, but it looks very primitive, just calls a program as I remember, and seems not to be mantained. Perhaps other webmail has it? Rod. On Wed, 23 Sep 2020, Hakan E.

However, I now have the problem of allowing users setting and modifying their own passwords (perhaps even their usernames) without giving them ssh access to the host. I don't have technical background and training for this type of work; however, I love doing this, please be gentle with me. The mail server is a hobby that is intended for family and a few friends, and is not mission critical. > > I thought something like Webmin could work for this purpose, but without root access of course.
