Me too.
It seems that this:
* Mailserver with non-system passwords
* SMTP-AUTH to allow relaying by people anywhere
* Sharing authentication between SMTP and IMAP server
is the "HELP I CANT GET PPP WORKING" of the new millennium, which is to
say that everyone wants it, but no distro seems to support it easily *and*
there are no decent docs.
Mail servers in general seem to be the deepest magic on a Unix box, and
they all seems to have configuration systems which were designed to be
antagonistic even towards people who can handle any other administration
task while driving, brushing their teeth, and having sex.
So I second this emotion. Can someone please write a cookbook style
document for how to achieve the above configuration? Perhaps one using
userdb and one using an sql database. I would be happy to do it myself but
I've been banging my head against my keyboard for the past 4 days trying
to get this very thing working.
My apologies if I'm way off base; all suggestions gratefully accepted.
