Hello Ville, understanding with some difficulty :-) is LDAP. I have two questions: > those of you who use LDAP as a back-end, what tools do you use to > manage the entries, and what schema do you use to store Postfix > (including virtual domain) account info?

Softerra soft is really good, perhaps the best I've found, but far from free... Phpldapadmin is really good enougth to manage mail accounts in ldap. Another solution is to code your own interface. There are Perl and php lib and examples to help you. For the schema I'm using Nimel schema, found on a documentation about postfix and virtualdomains. It does not seems to be updated anymore, and I've never managed to contact the author. I've hack it a little for my own needs, but it's a good base. > the web side.

With "LDAP administrator" you can create the template for your email accounts, and then you just need to input the data (name, email, password, and so), and the insert/check is done automatically.
