I need to check if this works independent of encryption or authentication method used. In my email configuration Postfix passes all emails to dbmail. Dbmail then stores the emails in postgresql tables of the "dbmail" database, as opposed to the way cyrus and most other MTA(s) stores emails in pop3 or imap folders indexed for fast email operations. I liked cyrus with sasl authentication, which I used four or five years ago, but I have gone to dbmail, which I now prefer. Dbmail has a gui that creates users and their passwords, assigns quotas, permissions, etc, but I'm not sure if users and their passwords are integrated into LDAP or PostgreSQL; since, that's all handled by me using the DBmail Administrator (DBMA) gui. I'll need to take a look at the dbmail configuration file to get the dbmail database su name and password, so I'll have the privileges need to see the row of the tables that hold the email users. It kind of hard working with the dbmail database, because there a lots of table and the creator of the system has normalzed everything to the extreme, (eg an email is spread over many tables all normalized), so to see the entire email you need to join many tables together parent/child keys. I'll check back tomorrow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBMail_IMAP_and_POP3_server http://library.mobrien.com/screenshots/index.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol Regards, LelandJ > Paul > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
