Hi list,
Yesterday i tried to install roundcube webmail. I got few doubts
after completing the installation. In mysql, there is one data base
'vpopmail'. Its created and managed by qmail admin and admin-toaster.
It is having tables like,
dir_control
lastauth
test_com
valias
alias
test.com is the domain i created for testing. Inside that there are
the fields which we see the admin-toaster page 'show users'
While installing roundcube, i created a new database called round
cube. Inside that there are several different tables. So please
someone tell me the following assumptions are correct.
1. Qmailadmin, admin-toaster and {(may be) squirrel mail} are using
the database vpopmail to mailtain the domains and users and passwords.
2. Roundcube is using its own database maintaining the details of
users,contacts and messages. For authentication, i should depent
depend vpopmail?
If the entire thing is wrong,Please some one clearly clarify me the
purpose and role of the databases 'vpopmail' and (if possible)
'Roundcube'
The vpopmail database is where Qmail and the support applications get
the user/domain info. Squirrelmail actually establishes an IMAP
connection to the Qmail server on 127.0.0.1 to
authenticate/read/retrieve mail. Vqadmin uses the vpopmail database as well.
Roundcube uses it's own database. It will authenticate to the Qmail
system using IMAP as well, so as an example, I could setup Roundcube on
my server here, but have it use your IMAP server, thus allowing you to
spit up webmail clients and the actual mail system.
