Do you run dovecot? If you do, just make use of dovecot's sasl

Thanks,
yes I run dovecot and I know the SASL + Postfix features, but on the
qmail server, postfix is on another server.
Summary:
server1
qmail + vpopmail with mysql backend + dovecot with vpopmail native
authentication ("passdb checkpassword" and "args =
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw")
server2
postfix + SASL that read users from mysql on server1
How can postfix access to dovecot SASL auth mechanis?
I could install dovecot on server2, but dovecot can check vpopmail flags
on when run with "passdb checkpassword" and "args =
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" and in the same server with vpopmail binary.
Or not?
Eh? What version of dovecot are you running? dovecot can directly link
into vpopmail. Install vpopmail on server2, point it to the mysql
server, compile and install a dovecot version above 1.0 (prefereably
latest) and compile and install a version of postfix that can make use
of dovecot's sasl provision.
Quite a bit of fiddling I know...
postfix main.cf
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth (under postfix spool directory - need to
set this in dovecot.conf in the auth section under client subsection)
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
Read the SASL_README file for dovecot stuff:
Building Postfix with Dovecot SASL support
These instructions assume that you build Postfix from source code as
described
in the INSTALL document. Some modification may be required if you build
Postfix
from a vendor-specific source package.
Support for the Dovecot version 1 SASL protocol is available in Postfix
2.3 and
later. At the time of writing, only server-side SASL support is
available, so
you can't use it to authenticate to your network provider's server. Dovecot
uses its own daemon process for authentication. This keeps the Postfix build
process simple, because there is no need to link extra libraries into
Postfix.
To generate the necessary Makefiles, execute the following in the
Postfix top-
level directory:
% make makefiles CCARGS='-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -
DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\"'
After this, proceed with "make" as described in the INSTALL document.
Notes:
* The "-DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE" stuff is not necessary; it just makes
Postfix
configuration a little more convenient because you don't have to
specify
the SASL plug-in type in the Postfix main.cf file.
* If you also want support for LDAP or TLS, you will have to merge their
CCARGS and AUXLIBS into the above command line.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail Postfix and SQL query for SMTP-Auth
Hello, this is my situation, one qmail+vpopmail(MySQL)+dovecot server that works like an MX record and provide access on mailbox via POP3 or IMAP. Another server with postfix and SASL for SMTP-Auth only, with SASL that query the vpopmail DB for user authentication. My intention is to set a query into SASL for use the same flags for SMTP-Auth that read vpopmail and qmail. Now the SASL query is very simple: $ cat /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: auxprop auxprop_plugin: sql mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN #password_format: crypt sql_engine: mysql sql_hostnames: 10.0.0.1 sql_user: postfix sql_passwd: pippo sql_database: vpopmail sql_select: SELECT pw_clear_passwd FROM vpopmail WHERE pw_name='%u' and pw_domain='%r' and smtppostfix = '1' the only condition is the column "smtppostfix" that I must set manually. There is the way to change the SELECT query in order to check the original vpopmail flags? So i can manage SMTP users authentication from vpopmail command line and reflect this configuration into a postfix server :-) I have read this discussion: http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.com/msg17260.html but I have not found a solution :-( Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi is: @ ILS -> http://www.linux.it/~alessice/ on LinkedIn -> http://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice Assistenza Sistemi GNU/Linux -> http://www.cecchi.biz/ @ PLUG -> ex-Presidente, adesso senatore a vita, http://www.prato.linux.it @ LOLUG -> Socio http://www.lolug.net !DSPAM:4acb4e5f32711494420535!

With the wrapper you can use either qmail or postfix with vpopmail. Also the wrapper does not require qmail to be installed. Some postfix error code from sys_exits.h could have changed.

[vchkpw] vpopmail postfix devel mailing list / calling all experts
Howdy folks, Due to recent displays of interest for vpopmail/postfix integration on this and other mailing lists, I have decided to take on the task of figuring out exactly how one might do it. Unfortunately, I am not completely up to par on my postfix knowledge (read: noob), so I've decided to set up a mailing list for discussion of postfix/vpopmail integration. The mailing list address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and you can subscribe by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a few ideas of how it might be done, however they all seem rather 'hackish' and I'd like to get input from people who are more knowledgable about the subect than I. If you're interested in helping with the development of vpopmail postfix support, please join :) I will probably wait until monday after I have read some more documentation and thrown some designs together before I post any of my own ideas to the list, however, feel free to break the ice and start discussing how you think it should be done :) In the end, I'm sure there will be a lot of new code written... certain things that will need to change (however, backward compatibility and MTA portability are my #1 concern) .. and a lot of time spent, however, I believe this will be very positive for the community and help to spread the use of vpopmail around the internet community. Thanks, and I hope to see some people on the list :) -Jeremy ps: kmail + xforwarding + cheap linksys router = bad idea for typing email :) -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

I neither use vpopmail with postfix, nor do I ever plan to. I'm sure there are those out there who do though (or have at least tried, successful or not), does anyone want to come forward and say yay or nay if it still works, or have a howto for it or something? If it no longer works with postfix I'll update the page and put the 'last known operable version' or something on there. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .

See this sentence from http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail.html : "Inter7 has developed vpopmail (vchkpw), a free GPL software package, to provide an easy way to manage virtual email domains and non /etc/passwd email accounts on your qmail or Postfix mail servers." So it looks like there should be a way to get it to work with Postfix. (Or someone needs to fix the page.) There's even a link for a short howto on the Inter7 page: http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/postfix.txt That said, I have never used vpopmail with Postfix, nor do I ever plan to, so I can't vouch whether or not any of the above is accurate beyond face value.

Dig in and do it, then send us detailed instructions. I've started a few times, then stalled out. I'm sick of having a piece of perl code invoked for every incoming mail (qmail-scanner), and postfix has much nicer hooks for scanning and all manner of goodies. It does seem possible, but I'd bet things like smtp-auth could get a little tricky... Charles > >
