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. !DSPAM:4acd44cd32715512521434!

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. If any one wants to hack the code below, they are free do do. Also like any other free software, my code comes without warranty or obligations. I also claim no copyrights, etc. You are free to do anything with the code (except to involve me). If you do something useful with the code, let me know :) 1. Edit main.cf and master.cf (assuming you have installed and configured postfix) Have the following in main.cf local_transport = vdel vdel_destination_recipient_limit = 1 Have the following line in master.cf (mind the line wrap) vdel unix - n n - 100 pipe flags=Fq. user=vpopmail argv=/var/vpopmail/bin/postdel -u $user -d $recipient -r $sender 2. Compile postdel.c gcc postdel.c -s -O -o postdel cp postdel /var/vpopmail/bin I used to use it on production before I switched back to qmail. postdel.c.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data

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! .
