My biggest complaint at work is that there is no global address book for everyone to use. Obviously a file I create will be outdated weekly based on the users I add and remove from my Postfix email server. My Postfix email server does not do any kind of fancy authentication with LDAP or do I have any kind of MySQL database running. Its plainly a company Imap server that all clients connect to. I know this is not directly Postfix related however I am looking for suggestions on what other Postfix admins do for something like this? Just a address book that can be accessed by all and is always updated based on user accounts I add and or create. Every email account on my Postfix server has their own UID/GID and their own home directory which is set to /bin/nologin. I don't mind managing it this way and I know where are database methods that help clean this up but that is not what I am looking for here.Thanks for any and all suggestions.
LDAP is what you're looking for.Most email clients can be configured to connect to an LDAP server out the box in most cases and do address book lookups, so it's a feature you get for free.
