I am interested in your qmail-ldap add-on. However, since I am still new to qmail I still have limited understanding of the qmail architecture/setup.
Please could somebody clarify some of my queries for me.
I am currently successfully running qmail with courier-imap/vpopmail/mysql-backend (qmailrocks.org based install). And I am providing a global address book via an ldap server.
I have a question regarding virtual domains and ldap support for qmail and vpopmail - and ultimately for qmail-ldap
I am I right in the following assumption:
qmail natively supports virtual domains. However, vpopmail is used as an add-on to automate <http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1048670&page=1#>the creation/management of the users and virtual domains?
If this assumption is true then can I assume the following:
qmail-ldap will offer me to have the configuration in an LDAP directory, and it also supports virtual domains natively.
Thus, if I use qmail-ldap I do not need to use vpopmail? But then how does courier-imap authenticate? Can it call qmail-ldap to authenticate the user?
I have played about with the vpopmail ldap-backend support but realised that the accounts it creates does not have the email address of the account in it (or I currently don't know how to add this 'feature') - thus, it cannot be used as a central LDAP address book.
Does qmail-ldap accounts contain the email address of the user in the account?
In vpopmail mysql support you could have the alias/forwards stored in a mysql table. How are aliases/forwards supported in qmail-ldap. Can that be stored in the ldap directory - and stored with an email address so that it can be used as part of the global address book.
I would appreciate if somebody could clear up these queries - I'd like a qmail ldap based setup but would like to have all the above features from my existing setup too!
Thanks in advance for any help.
