postgresql + dbmail
What are the permissions supposed to be for enabling the dbmail to
access the dbmail database in posgresql? SELECT + UPDATE?
Also, I have a serious bug here that's just wrong.
postgres installs with IDENT authentication only, by default.
I can't get the dbmail server to start from the /etc/init scripts
because the root user runs these scripts and only the dbmail Unix user
can access the postgres database as the dbmail pgsql user.
I'd send a bugreport, but I can't get the email working, duh!
All testing, latest as of tonight.
Help. I think I would rather just kill IDENT authentication and migrate
everything over to MD5 encryption unconditionally. This server is going
to be running on my DMZ and as a rule, everything that runs there has to
be secure as if it's exposed to the extent possible. If not, then I
work on other measures. Short of Kerberos and stunnel, I think MD5 is
about the best thing I have available. I think it will work for me.
