Now, everything works fine, but I'm a bit concerned with the

Hi Roberto,
I try to avoid that beast of horde...but most webmail products that I've seen
(including Horde, if memory doesn't fail me), simply make an imap connection to
your server and pass on whatever auth you give to it.... IOW, whatever works
for imap works with webmail.
Yes.. That's how it works now.. horde simply delegates to imp that
does the authentication to the imap server.. what I mean is that
as users unix accounts are named like aaa01, aaa02, aab01, but
they are mapped to email addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], I'd like to let
the user authenticate to the webmail using the email address,
and then have some piece of software map the email address to
the local unix account before attempting the auth process..
I found out that imp provides hook points to do this kind
of things and maybe I'll go that direction, but I just
would like to hear what other people are doing.. maybe
have aliases in /etc/passwd (ie different usernames, same UID/GID)?
Best regards.
Robi.
anyway, it wouldn't be too hard to test, right?
