Then you might be able to answer me a question -- is it possible to use
OpenWebmail with different "mail" users?
Let me elaborate: Usually you have only ONE real mail account ("mail" or
"exim") that handles mail for all your virtual domains. But I have a
setup where I have about a dozen "real" (system users.) Delivery of
e-mail to one of the virtual domains a respective users owns is being
performed using the uid of that user, to a directory under the home
directory of said user.
So I have this scenario:
_ virtdom1.1
/
sysuser1-*-- virtdom1.2
.
.
\_ virtdom1.n1
_ virtdom2.1
/
sysuser2-*-- virtdom2.2
.
.
\_ virtdom2.n2
...
_ virtdomN.1
/
sysuserN-*-- virtdomN.2
.
.
\_ virtdomN.nN
Can this scenario be handled with OpenWebmail? If so, how would I have
to configure OW to handle this?
Thanks,
Ralf

Thanks for sharing this with us. As I already pointed out I would really like
a solution that can be realized without not-yet-Debianized software (even it's
unofficial packages that I have to use.)

Well, I'm currently only collecting infos. I've still to rent my server (I'm

That's no problem for me. I published an Exim4 package I created myself LONG
before there were even experimental official ones. But thanks for your offer,
and thanks for taking the time of writing this all up.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this. Now that I've had a look at this I still don't see strong reasons NOT to use Exim any longer. I do see reasons to migrate to "maildir"-style mailboxes which I might do (altho as I mentioned performance probably won't EVER be an issue at all since the server will be running more or less "idle.") -- L I N U X .~.

How to handle mail for multiple (10-15) domains w/o localpart conflicts?
Hi there, is there a package, HOWTO, or FAQ that aids in or describes how to setup your Debian box (with Exim as the MTA) to handle mail for multiple (some 10-15) domains without conflicts in the local part of incoming mail? Maybe even let them add/delete/configure mailboxes using a web interface? Considering that people also need to fetch their mail using POP/IMAP I guess I need a full-blown virtual user solution (since I don't need (want?) my users to have system accounts on the box.) Suggestions, hints, pointers anyone? Thanks, Ralf -- L I N U X .~. The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^
