The way my server is build up, is that it has absolutely no need for
system users, and I don't want 'localdelivery' on.
What I am trying to achieve, is something simple, so that I don;t
have to make a new ~qmail user for every domain I want to forward.
I tried to use $[EMAIL PROTECTED] directly in the LDAP database
(attribute deliveryprogrampath) but qmail complained about illegal
characters (the $).
I am building this web interface to manage emailaccounts and
emaildomains, and it is important to me that the webinterface does
not need to create a new ~qmail user for that, and clean it up again
if someboudy decides to switch domainforwarding off. (as I call it
instead of domainaliasing).
Also, I want *all* delivery of mail to go through the LDAP database,
and to exclude any chance that through misconfiguration mail is
deleiverd through passwd lookups.
Of course, I was using sendmail before, and there was this
possibility to deal with 'domain name rewrites' in the mailertable
(and domaintable).
After I switched to qmail-ldap, I just *miss* that table... I would
be much more happy if this was somehow part of qmail and that I
didn't have to emulate this behaviour by using ldap.
Of course, I don't want to fire up perl all the time, if it's a
performance problem; but I can't see any other way right now...
Your thoughts and ideas will be appreciated...
