Hello, I am just starting to build up my Postfix server.
I have been reading the many docs. I decided to set up with virtual_domains. For a simple first step I am not using the MySQL database tables yet, only flat files. In my main.cf configuration file I put /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf ... virtual_mailbox_domains = mx.testdomain.loc virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/vhosts virtual_mailbox_maps = /usr/local/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_minimum_uid = 100 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 And then I put just one user in it /usr/local/etc/postfix/vmailbox a...@mx.testdomain.loc mx.testdomain.loc/arun/ From my reading I thinkg this will work okay. What I do not understand is how to put in a password for the only one user in a flatfile, not a database. There are many docs for the database approach to it. But I have not found one for just a flatfile. How do I add a password for the "a...@mx.testdomain.loc" that I would use in my mail client program, like Thunderbird, to access the account? Both for sending and receiving? Thank you for your help. Arun
