Hello!
I'm planning to try qmail+vpopmail, and there's something I'd like to know
prior installing them..
1) I'd like to have all user information on ldap-directory (for
address-books and stuff). Should I tell vpopmail to use ldap for storing
users/passwords and for authentication?
Or should I use mysql instead and tell openldap to read data for ldap
from mysql? (I don't know if this is even possible:)
2) "Supports authenticated relay control of your qmail smtp server." This
is from the feature-page of vpopmail. Does this mean that
vpopmail edits tcp.smtp when pop/imap-connection starts? Doesn't this
belong for imap/pop-daemon? if yes, does courier-imapd/pop3d support
this?
3) How should I set up the authentication for courier-imapd/pop3d ?
Authenticate directly from ldap or mysql, or via vpopmail?
4) Is there smtp-auth (+ssl?) package available for qmail which is
compatible with vpopmail (mysql? ldap?)?
5) "use Matt Simersons tcpserver-mysql patch". Is this recommended? Is it
possible to get this kind of patch for ldap? Does the recompiling of
tcp.smtp.cdb take much more cpu compared to mysql/ldap-thingy? Is
recompilation of tcp.smtp.cdb required for _all_ pop/imap-connections?
Ok.. that should be all :)
Thanks for your replies..
