Depends what you're comfortable with. I have used LDAP; others use mysql or pgsql; for smaller systems userdb will do. You then configure your MTA to use the same backend when delivering incoming mail(*) and away you go. However, courier doesn't come with utilities to create and remove users in those databases(**) so you need to make your own interface for managing accounts. Regards, Brian. (*) I've set up exim to query LDAP and userdb databases directly, and also to talk to courier's authdaemon down a socket. If you're using another MTA such as Postfix then you will need to work out how to do this yourself. (**) That's not exactly true; if you're using authuserdb then courier supplies command-line tools 'userdb' for adding/removing accounts, 'makeuserdb' for converting this into an indexed .db, and pw2userdb/vchkpw2userdb for converting existing password files. http://www.courier-mta.org/?userdb.html http://www.courier-mta.org/?makeuserdb.html However it doesn't contain a fluffy web interface around these. Also you need to create the home directory and maildir for each account when you add it to the database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
