Using cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 and virtdomains: userid is the least confusing configuration I could figure out. It takes some getting used to the weird syntax when creating mailboxes and folders: localhost> cm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Creates [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is their login id. Now to create folders for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: localhost> cm [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost> cm [EMAIL PROTECTED] The folders are stored in: /var/spool/imap/domain/w/wherever.com/j/user/joeblow Intuitive? Hell no, backwards as hell if you ask me! Which is why I opted for storing users in mysql and the autocreate patches. Create the user in the database and send them an email, the folders are automatically created. Example imapd.conf entries for autocreation of the folders, subscripts, and quota: # # autocreate options. Do not use createonpost unless sendmail # can verify valid addresses before delivery. # autocreatequota: 50000 createonpost: no autocreateinboxfolders: Sent|Drafts|Trash|Spam autosubscribeinboxfolders: Sent|Drafts|Trash|Spam -- [email protected] mailing list
