Hi List

I am working on DBmail integration to an existing usermanagement system i run. 
I already store username, domain, password, quota and many other things in 
that management system - what i did was dropping the aliases and users table 
from the dbmail structure and created VIEWS that map my existing info to 
something useful for dbmail.

I already succeeded in getting dbmail 1.1 to authenticate against my existing 
md5sum passwords, and that my MTA (Exim) delivers mail.

But what i didn't manage to figure out was how the mailbox system works for 
dbmail. The dbmail injector successfully delivered mail to my user even 
though no mailbox existed. When i logged in using IMAP the client showed no 
folders (surprise, surprise - there are no mailboxes). What i want to know  
is - where, in its code, does dbmail create a default set of mailboxes? And 
to which mailbox does dbmail deliver new mails by default? With that 
information i can write a script that creates the needed default mailboxes 
when i add a user to my management system (i already do that for my old 
system, but there i create a default maildir structure).

dbmail-adduser crashes with a segmentation fault (probably because i created 
rules for my views to do nothing on insert, update and delete), so i cannot 
use that tool (i guess that this program creates the default mailboxes). 
Given enough time i will try to fix either dbmail-adduser or create useful 
rules for my db-system ;)
I created a mailbox containing the test mails using direct sql commands and it 
works, but before i create my own crazy standard i wanted to ask the list ;)

thanks in advance for any hints

 Mike
