Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-MD5: +bIOTLJFyxgUOaRuG0cElQ== Hello all, I have set up qmail here on a few of our servers (OSF1 and HP-UX), Everything is working fine, all mail from any of our servers goes to the mail server, local and remote deliveries work fine too. The place I'm getting stuck though is trying to set up pop3 deliveries to our corporate network users on NT stations. Of course, I don't want to set up and maintain unix accounts for them on the unix mail server. I retrieved a document by Paul Gregg at http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.txt, that explains a way of achieving this. I have a pretty good idea of how to set up things, but I'm missing a few blocks to understand the whole mechanism. More precisely: Since I have only one domain to manage (we're not an ISP) and our domain is already set, do I have to still set it in virtualdomains ? What checkpasswd type program is the best to use? (I would like to have mail users in a separate passwd file) From P.Gregg's document: [ Ok, so I've got that setup? Where's the password file? In my default the password file is /var/qmail/users/poppasswd Simply make file and add a line, e.g: testid:DmIMm9e5Hc8ic:popuser:/var/qmail/popboxes/domain-com/joe This means we've just added a POP3 user "testid" with a password of "testpw" (crypted), with the real (system) id of "popuser" and their (home) directory is "/var/qmail/popboxes/domain-com/joe" ] How can I manually edit such a file and type in an encrypted password in it ? Like if I create a user "Joe" and I want his password to be "testpwd" what should I do? create a unix user with that password then look at the unix passwd file for the encrypted version and copy it over the mail passwd file and then delete the unix user? I'm not sure it's going to work (I didn't try it). But there must be a better way, than to repeat that operation for 200 users. Any hints or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks to all Christian Tremblay
