    Hi guys,

    I have successfully installed sogo on my toaster, but there are
    some issues I still need to work on:

    - Auth-backend is ldap and I failed terribly at any attempt to
    have more than one mail domain reflected in the ldap tree
    - i had to manually set up the ldap tree to reflect that one domain

    Luckily, it still solves my immediate problem as I had a
    requirement to offer CalDAV & CardDAV support. Works like a charm!

I had a doubt that Sogo may not support md5crypt, which is how the passwords are stored in the vpopmail database. It looks like that is the case.

See this link:

http://mail.opengroupware.org/pipermail/sogo/2010-February/005083.html

I haven't found any later references that say that sogo supports md5crypt, so it looks like the sogo code WILL have to be patched for authentication against the vpopmail mysql database. Please note that the patch in the link may be against an earlier release.

Of course, if cleartext is used to transmit the passwords then that may not be an issue.
