The cyrus mail server has an authentication scheme whereby one can very easily plug in different ways of authenticating users. It is really cyrus sasl that does the authentication work, and it can be configured for PAM, or for the nifty pwcheck program that can easily be modified to query a postgres database. Probably, PAM is safer: pam_pgsql: http://freshmeat.net/projects/pam_pgsql/download sasl: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/ cyrus mail server: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/ BTW, the cyrus server is *very* competent, and supports imap et al as well. Warmly recommended. Cheers, Palle ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
