Not quite true. You can use the imap authentication mechanism for saslauthd which can be used against the dbmail-imapd directly. Or if you use ldap support you can use the pam mechanism against your ldap database. So if you run debian you do: apt-get install sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules cat > /etc/default/saslauthd << EOF START=yes MECHANISMS="rimap -O localhost" EOF /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart And your sasl installation is ready to authenticate against your dbmail users, in whatever form. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
