Hi all!
I'm looking to migrate the dodgy setup from hell to DBMail. Here's the
problem:
* The current setup is:
Postfix 1.x + UW-IMAP (ugh...) + SASL + PWCheck
I want to move this across to:
Postfix 2.x + DBMail
Migrating existing mail isn't a problem, but migrating existing
usernames and passwords is. All users currently have UNIX system accounts.
The main problems are:
1. Obviously, all passwords are encrypted. It seems that getting this to
work with SMTP AUTH can be problematic
Inserting users from /etc/passwd and friends is no great challenge.
dbmail-adduser is perfectly suited to this task.
And SMTP AUTH with users in dbmail only, will work if you use pam-mysql.
Of course if 2.0 will do ldap that will work even better performance wise.
2. All mail accounts have usernames that are not the same as their mail
addresses (for instance, [EMAIL PROTECTED] has the UNIX username lisasd).
So? Where is the challenge in that ? Seem pretty straightforward to me.
Does anyone have any insights, advice or pointers to offer?
Perhaps some more details would allow me to be more helpful.
