Well, since you're using PAM, then yes, you'd need home directories. They could be tweaked to go to strange directories, though.
It won't support multiple domains (as far as I know), but I could be wrong about that as the Winbindd stuff seems to be pretty flexible. You might try messing with usernames and stuff to get a virtual domains like feel going. Mostly, though I would say stick with LDAP if you're looking for virtual domains.

I'm very interested in this, but unsure how to go about doing this. I know what Samba is, I have downloaded Samba 3, and read about winbindd. Does it require that all users have a home directory, or can I keep using virtual users in Courier? I guess if we're using PAM, then users' mail would have to be in /home/someusername/Maildir... Unless I tweaked the $HOME when creating accounts.
How do you handle this? Will it support multiple domains?
Thanks, David Gomillion

Subject: Re: [courier-users] Courier Imap and Active Directory authentication.
Another way to do this is to install Samba 3 and use Winbindd to do your linux authentication to the AD. That way, in Courier-Imap you use PAM authentication and it will check AD through PAM and Winbindd. This is what I do for my users. It also allows for single sign-on if any of my users need linux shell accounts, say for FTP access or whatnot.
