Mike,
I really don't know. I've done this on a debian/sarge environment with an
openldap backend. But afaik there's no version dependency other than the
ones already set by dbmail-cvs.
Basically you'll need glib2.0, gmime2.0, openldap, autoconf, automake,
libtool.
Even though debian/woody seems like a bit outdated to me, it may very well
work.

Hi Paul:
What would you suggest as best OS/ver/packages for install and test.
Something like Debian-30r4?
Thanks.
best...

Subject: [Dbmail-dev] announce: authldap feature complete
Hi all,
I've just completed and commited the authldap layer. It is feature
complete, but
still needs more testing and some polishing as well.
Once you've set this up, you can use dbmail-users to manage your dbmail
users in
ldap, including aliases and external forwards.
Connecting with existing ldap trees is still unexplored territory. The
actual
objectClasses for your ldapusers are set in dbmail.conf, but the
implementation
currently probably still depends on the special dbmail.schema file
included in
the dbmail source. This schema file provides two new ldap objects:
dbmailUser
and dbmailForwardingAddress which are both layered on top of the core
'account'
object.
The current implementation maintains and requires a 'shadow' entry in sql
of
every dbmailUser in ldap. The uidNumber for such a ldap user must be
equal to
the user_idnr field in dbmail_users. To manage these shadow entries, I've
moved
some of the code from authsql.c to db.c, leaving only wrappers in place.
A full set of test-cases is present in check_dbmail_delivery.c. They all
pass of
course. The imap testsuite also passes ok, and thunderbird is quite happy
connecting to a ldap authenitating dbmail-imapd. Beyond that I havent'
done any
testing yet.
One final issue: if you want to start using ldap on a existing dbmail
installation, you have to make sure the user_idnrs and uidNumbers align.
Since
the user_idnrs will likely collide with existing posix uids you'll have
to
change the user_idnrs in the database. That's not a trivial matter if
you're
using foreign keys. I've changed the create_table_xxx and
migratie_1.x_to_2.0
files to add ON UPDATE CASCADE after the ON DELETE CASCADE so updating
the
user_idnr is possible. The numerical deliver_to values will however have
to be
updated manually.
happy testing,
--
