Virtual Email Hosting, IMAP and LDAP - advise needed
Hi, first of all i am quite new to all this stuff, so if anything below is plain stupid, please tell me. (RTFM wellcome). What i want to do is hosting virtual email domains on one server, which should be accessible by IMAP and/or POP3 Clients. This actually already works with exim as MTA and courier for POP and IMAP. First question: I have exim deliver the mails in maildir format to /var/spool/virtual/domain/user with permissions mail:mail 600. Courier uses auth-userdb, the usernames are of the form user.domain and all users have uid=gid=8 (mail). Is this save or are there better ways to set the permissions/ids? Now to the hard part: I´ve heard (read) a lot of good thing things about LDAP, and having all the infos at a central place sounds really fine to me. The next question: How do people organize the LDAP tree? I´ ve searched around the Internet, found lot of infos on LDAP, but not a concrete example of LDAP driven email solution. So, if you have links, or like to share your setup, please respond. Thanks, Ramin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
