Hey guys,

I've been lurking on the list for a while and I have a question about
Courier.  We're looking to implement a new mail system and want to move away
from a commerical solution towards an open source SMTP + LDAP + IMAP
solution.  Currently, we have an SMTP + LDAP setup, but we're looking at
possible IMAP solutions.

We looked at Cyrus, but we found that it didn't really let us do the setup
as we'd like.  We'd like to have SMTP deliver to a particular MailDir as
specifed by the mailMessageStore value in LDAP (below is a sample LDAP
entry).

dn: [EMAIL PROTECTED],dc=dev2,dc=test,dc=spam
objectClass: top
objectClass: MailAccount
accountStatus: ACTIVE
uid: 1000
userName: michaeln
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailMessageStore: m.sub/i.sub/michaeln.macnt/
mailHost: dev2.test.spam
clearPassword: password2
userPassword:: cGFzc3dvcmQy

That part works fine, but Cyrus doesn't seem to let us pass such a value to
the IMAP/POP3 daemon.  Cyrus seems to want us to use LMTP and the Cyrus
delivery agent to deliver mail to the appropriate location (as somehow
determined by Cyrus).  The problem here is that it's somewhat commom for
users to want to change their username and in the future we want to make
sure that it's easy to migrate a user's mail.  If we could make it such that
such a procedure would only involve updating LDAP, that'd be ideal (e.g. we
would update the mailHost and mailMessageStore values to move a user to a
MailDir on a different server etc.)

Before I jump into Courier, can you guys tell me if Courier can do what I
want above?


Michael
