Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Postfix 2.0 + DBMail + SMTP AUTH: msg#00226

mail.imap.dbmail

Subject: Postfix 2.0 + DBMail + SMTP AUTH

Hi all!

I'm looking to migrate the dodgy setup from hell to DBMail. Here's the problem:

* The current setup is:

Postfix 1.x + UW-IMAP (ugh...) + SASL + PWCheck

I want to move this across to:

Postfix 2.x + DBMail

Migrating existing mail isn't a problem, but migrating existing usernames and passwords is. All users currently have UNIX system accounts.

The main problems are:

1. Obviously, all passwords are encrypted. It seems that getting this to work with SMTP AUTH can be problematic
2. All mail accounts have usernames that are not the same as their mail addresses (for instance, lisa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx has the UNIX username lisasd).

Does anyone have any insights, advice or pointers to offer?

Best regards,

Chris
