Re: Postfix + Cyrus IMAPd + LDAP
Hey Kevin, I have been working on the same exact thing for the past 2 months. The only thing is I do not use LDAP. I tought about doing the same exact thing, creating mailboxes named like the email address. I ran into the same problems. I personnally use the following schema: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> username~domain-com In the postfix virtual table I put domain.com: anything [EMAIL PROTECTED]: username~domain-com And it works like that. I would love to do it differently (go explain the users that they have to put a "~" instead of an "@" and you'll see how much fun this is). If you find a way to do, please let us know. Some kind of howto would be great! Haim. "Kevin J.

Postfix + Cyrus IMAPd + LDAP
Hey guys, I've emailed the postfix-users list with this, and really haven't gotten any replies, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. I see there's a lot of people good with this kinda stuff (Craig, Russ, and so on) :) I'm using the Cyrus-IMAPd 2.0.15-HIERSEP release. Reason I mention this is because with this release, it is possible to use a '.' as a valid part of a user name. So, I log into cyradm as an admin from /etc/imapd.conf and "localhost> cm [EMAIL PROTECTED]" (Note, I have no affiliation with WPI other than attending the school. The email admins there are big sendmail buffs. Just doing this as an illustration) and the mailbox "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is created (in reality, it's "kmenard@wpi^edu", in order to preserve on-disk structure). Now, I want to set up postfix to query my OpenLDAP 2.0.11 server, and get all the info it needs. I'm using the misc.schema file that comes with openldap, which I believe is based off of http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-lachman-laser-ldap-mail-routing-02.txt. Most of the postfix docs with ldap, including the LDAP_README, use the "maildrop" and "mailacceptinggeneralid" attributes. I use the "mailLocalAddress" and "mailRoutingAddress" attributes. So, now my question is, how do I receive mail and then forward it to the mailbox by the same name? I was thinking have a mailLocalAddress: wpi.edu (to notify postfix of the virtual domain) and a mailLocalAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (to notify it of the email address), and then a mailRoutingAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@localhost. Alas, I am running into some difficulties. Is this even possible? Or do I need to change my nomenclature from cyrus mailboxes such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] to something like kmenard.wpi.edu. I've been recommended to do the latter, but I prefer the former, and want to know if it's possible. As usual, thanks for the help in advance. PS -- Following recent discussion, would it be recommended to use a ReiserFS for an entire server? In this case, following my thread on partition schemes, a / and a /home partition.
