PostgreSQL is the best way to go there. You will need the postfix-pgsql and courier-authpostgresql packages, at least. Of course, you could backport cyrus2.2 to Sarge or find a suitable backport out there. If you will have many thousands of users and you are the full time admin of the server, I would definitely recommend cyrus. It very nicely handles extremely large setups. > I read a lot of howto's but I can't find a solution to this problem: > some users need server side filtering (e.g. 'mailfilter' file in the > virtual users directory). in qmail/vpopmail I just put a line in the > .qmail file under the users directory. how do I do that in postfix/courier? > Not sure about that. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
