Hello,


I have Qpopper 4.0.4 running and it seems to work fine so far.

But there is one single problem that I can't solve.



I'm using the /etc/mail/virtusertable.db to map email addresses

like [EMAIL PROTECTED] to user.domain.com. This alias is then

looked up in /etc/aliases.db, which maps it to the according

mailbox file, /var/spool/mail/user.domain.com (I use sendmail

for the smtp stuff).



Incoming mails are stored correctly by sendmail. After adding

the host /etc/mail/local-host-names and adding the virtual user

and its alias, incoming mails are accepted and stored in the

correct file.



Now I only need to figure out how to instruct Qpopper to

authenticate users against eg. a hashed BerkleyDB with entries

like [EMAIL PROTECTED]:cryptpass. It kinda worked with PAM,

but only if the user is present in /etc/passwd, something I want

to avoid. Plus, I couldn't authenticate with [EMAIL PROTECTED] but

only with user (what doesn't help much if I also want to add

eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]).



I'm open for anything; if someone has a different approach, let me

know. As long as I don't have to add users to the passwd, I'm

gonna try it.



Thanks for any links, hints and tricks.

Sven
