FYI,
I'm building an web based control system for a client's site to integrate in
dbmail v 1.2.2
I've got 2 different status modes I use in an accounts master table.
Account Active
- maps are created for Postfix to check in check_recipient_access
to either return OK or REJECT for the email address
Login Enabled
- Basic User account information is stored in a master table
- values in a dbmail "users" record are generated from the master table
- The passwd field is filled with the actual passwd stored
in the master table
- or if Login Enabled is turned off, then the passwd in the users table
is set to some un-guessable value.
I'm highly in favor of the enabled/disabled boolean for both accepting mail
and for login availability. (Separately.)
