Rick,
I did not bother to read the guys second post once I got as far as
outblaze as that said enough, however, how can anything to do with
vpopmail be OT ? I had a private email from Wietse overnight showing me
a work around, my only concern about postfix using mysql to auth user
and get the dir for maildir how was it knowing/creating the users dir if
not using any vpopmails utils adding users, since we do by direct INSERT
into mysql where initially P/F would have no clue to its name where to
put the mail, I have my answer so I don't need to carry on with this
thread, however the point is vpopmail is a powerful pop3d, therefor
getting "any" MTA to co-operate with it, I would have thought would be
on topic, are you saying we can only discuss vpopmail and qmail related
issues? Not being sarcastic, just inquiring as why you are limiting
discussions, I am fully aware of your alliances with qmail, is this the
reason? As I would have thought the wider available usage the better,
perhaps this is why google shows no help.
Authenticating the user should be the least of your problems. The real
problem is trying to get postfix provided delivery agents to work. I do
not bother. it is either hand off to qmail or use maildrop.
Setup 1) postfix + maildrop + courier-auth + vpopmail + mysql (no qmail
local delivery therefore no dot-qmail)
point virtual_mailbox_domains to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
use virtual_mailbox_maps to look up users in mysql
set virtual_transport to maildrop (entry must be in master.cf)
limit maildrop transport to one recipient only.
The challenge will be getting courier-auth to compile against vpopmail
and then getting maildrop to compile against courier-auth.
Setup 2) postfix + mysql + qmail + vpopmail + vdelivermail trick as
listed on vpopmail postfix.txt file.
I did this differently but the above should work and is better for setup
1 is a refinement over my first version of setup 2. the only changes
will be the virtual_transport = vdelivermail and you get to keep
dot-qmail capability.
I have not looked at a vpopmail + cdb backend but you are smart and
should have no problems figuring that out.
Have fun.
