I have to look into LDAP and milter look ahead. I don't know much about them, but they sound like the perfect solution.

Thats correct but there are other mechanisms to check user existence on the final destination server like milter look ahead, or LDAP lookups > I'm lucky I don't deal with tons of users, so I've created an sql dump for > easy importing. You really do not have to maintain two lists of users, the MTA already has that info so the gateway should just look it up. > > I would like Baruwa to have an easy to use page made specifically to list > relay_recipients on a per-domain basis that is available to admins and domain > admins. This is already possible as the recipients are the user accounts on the system, In a SAAS environment it would not be practical to maintain lists of actual accounts, that is why there is the external authentication and forward lookup mechanisms that can be used. > This should have functionality of letting admins add/remove relay_recipients > or if global (@domain.com). All this can be managed on the destination systems and have your gateway look that up, the globals can be pulled from the DB as described above. > I don't know if this is something that would make sense though, let me know > what you feel about it. The project aims is to be able to drop in a gateway with very little admin overhead. -- JAVA - write once, crawl anywhere. _______________________________________________ Baruwa mailing list [email protected] http://lists.baruwa.org/mailman/listinfo/baruwa -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
