Re: auth_vpopmail_sql

[Christopher Heschong]

Hi Jeff, I wrote a plugin that I posted to this list a while back that will authenticate to the local IMAP server, so if you already have IMAP or POP3 setup on your server with whatever backend authentication mechanisms you might need (vpopmail, etc), you don't have to worry about a second authentication method or different way of accessing them. Seems reasonable that if you can send mail you probably can check it too. :) If you can't find it in the archives, feel free to e-mail me directly.

Not sure how to do TLS although I'd be interested in the ability.

as best I can tell this plugin was written for a vpopmail install that
lacks virtual domains.  my vpopmail db does not contain a vpopmail
table within it, but it has tables for each virtual domain hosted.  I
hacked up the code to get the smtp auth i needed for one domain
temporarily but I'd be interested in adding support for vdomains if
thats actually my problem.

hello,

I'd like to use the auth_vpopmail_sql plugin so that some remote users
can send thru our mail server, but I can't find any examples of folks
using it so I'm not sure where to put it in config/plugins or the
syntax to call it. Could anyone give me an example config that uses
that plugin?

Sure!  In config/plugins I have:
...
auth/auth_vpopmail_sql
quit_fortune
check_earlytalker

And in plugins/auth/auth_vpopmail_sql you need to configure the database
connection:

66 my $connect = "dbi:mysql:dbname=vpopmail:host=my_database_host";
67 my $dbuser = "my_vpopmail_user";
68 my $dbpasswd = "my_vpopmail_user_password";

It's as simple as that!

Any way to tls-tunnel the transfer of password?

sql is more understandable than ldap, that's a plus.

I mean tls tunnel the sender-to-mta transfer of password
(presumably the sql server is on an internal link to mta).
