Hello Guys,
I have been following up on vpopmail and intend to start using it on our
production server now. However I would like to know whether there is any
advantage in using MySQL authentication over standard file based
authentication. I understand that as a sysadmin, I might have easier
control / access to user data, etc. But is this good enough on a system
handling say about 3000 users and hosting a few hundred domains?
I had a past experience with an ISP who used MySQL for authentication (I
dont know whether he was using vpopmail, or something else), and the
authentication would fail at times under heavy server load. I do not want
such a scenario to be repeated.
I will wait for inputs from users who have already been running their vpop
under MySQL before going ahead with the setup. Also are there any such
problems with filebased authentication under loads, that I probably did not
realise?
Thanks
Ninad
