My "needs" were mostly described with a few words (maybe you didn't read that part). As for the software I described, well, postfixadmin is what I use now, and it pretty much does what I said I wanted (mailboxes, aliases, virtual domains), but it has a MySQL backend.

I'm interested in the part stored in LDAP, and a way to manage it in a simple way. At least with postfix I can pretty much configure it according to LDAP, and postfix doesn't have a preferred way of putting mail information into LDAP. I'm new to Dovecot though, but from what I can tell, it's not going to be much different there. I'm looking for alternatives, to draw my own conclusions regarding it's usefulness for me. > let alone that cosign-discuss is not the place for any of it, IMHO. > It's a good place to start, I think. There might be such systems as Jamm/Phamm and postfixadmin, but they might not all be able to run with Cosign without some modifications. This list is a good place to find out if anyone is using such tools in their Cosign environment. > cheers, > -peter > > ps: forget about LDAP simple binds and saslauthd if you're creating an > email archtecture from scratch. got me, I couldn't resist ;) > Primarily I will use Kerberos. But it's not likely that all mail clients have support for SASL/GSSAPI. I also have a few web based systems that need access to LDAP, that does not have SASL support. So I opted for a simple bind solution. Passwords are stored in Kerberos, and users in LDAP have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] userPassword entry. It was just an idea that I might be able to have a fallback to plain text authentication over TLS/SSL for clients that does not support Kerberos. /Tobias ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
