Sorry... should have been a bit clearer...
Am wanting to use the 'userdb' feature of courier, and thought that
the courier-mta may support this....
Otherwise, I am looking at
* Postfix uses virtual_mailbox_map for usernames (and uid) delivery
* Postfix uses sasl(1) and sasldb for SMTP AUTH
* Courier uses 'userdb' for password, and UID....
-> And a shell script to keep them all in sync.
Mysql and ldap are a bit overkill, and I don't like /etc/passwd as
I don't want users which shell accounts 'accidently continously' talking
to a pop3/ imap server.
Unfortunately cyrus in woody is a very old version, and doesnt support
sasl! :-( so This effectively leaves me with the postfix courier solution.
(and no, I don't want to start using unstable, as last time I did this, I didnt
pay attention, and next thing I new, glibc was unstable! :-( )
Thanks for any advice
Andrew
