me> I've ben reading HOWTOs for qmail and courier-imap. The first one was: me> http://howtos.eoutfitters.net/email/ me> This HOWTO recommends using maildrop to transfer mail from qmail to me> courier-imap. I was wondering why that is necessary.
<SNIP!> me> What if I don't want to use actual unix accounts for my users (ie me> they are all virtual)? Sam> Pick one: Courier-IMAP can read user information from LDAP, MySQL, Sam> PostgreSQL, GDBM/DB-based. For Qmail, that mailing list is down the Sam> hall. OK, I think I'm getting it, tell me if this is right. The issue seems to be that Courier-IMAP and Qmail both need a source of user information. Qmail's "dot-qmail" files are not enough info for Courier-IMAP. On the other hand, Courier-IMAP's many authentication methods don't make any sense to Qmail. Therefore we need some glue, and that glue can be (eg in the first HOWTO) the maildrop program, or (eg in the 2nd HOWTO) the unix password file. Am I there?
