SASL exclusively stores passwords for the smtp-authentification and Postfix has no means to provide a $HOME and execute something on delivery except for usernames listed /etc/shadow. Compare the functionality of SASL and Postfix local and virtual with courier authmodules and local for yourself. Postfix is great unless you want to deliver something, and then it gets a hack unless the smtp-part is replaced with courier. Not really a big deal. Unfortunately courier has no hooks for smtp-contentfilters, this and the flexible lookup-tables could be imported from Postfix ;) Roland ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
