I use all the same on a x86 box with FreeBSD. And Yeah, you won't get that much docu on that stuff, but have a look at http://www.postfix.org/docs.html. There are several howtos about Postfix-CourierIMAP-MySQL constelations. > At this point I'm stuck. I don't see any way to manage users.

You will have to go through the config files manually, but that isn't that hard. For the user management, I went with virtual users in a mysqldb, to make management from php possible. For this, you would need mysql-support in all your mail-softwares. Postfix and Courier will have to lookup user info, passwords and maildir-locations. All in all, after 1 day of hard work, its running just fine. philon _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
