exim courier authuserdb
Greetings,
I am writing this to work through the problem I was _previously_
having with configuring exim+virtual-systemless-accounts+courier-*.
It should not take much work to get this working with Mysql in the
future.
My requirements were basically Maildir support with virtualhosting
capability. I wanted to use Exim because it seems actively developed,
and is natively packaged under Debian. Courier POP/IMAP seemed the
best implementation (others were too immature, or lacked either Maildir
or virthosts without un-audited patches).
I'm running woody with these relevant packages:
ii exim 3.34-1
ii courier-authda 0.37.3-2
ii courier-base 0.37.3-2
ii courier-doc0.37.3-2
ii courier-imap 1.4.3-2
ii courier-pop 1.4.3-2
I have a working installation of Exim, which delivers using Maildir
format to '/home/virtualmail/${domain}/${local_part}/Maildir/'.
Here is what I have tried so far in accordance with the docs for
courier-imap:
# userdb [EMAIL PROTECTED] set \
home=/home/virtualmail/knah.marinar.com/hank/Maildir \
mail=/home/virtualmail/knah.marinar.com/hank/Maildir uid=8 gid=8
# userdbpw -md5 | userdb [EMAIL PROTECTED] set systempw
# makeuserdb
Unless I'm reading this wrong, according to
http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html#authlib, I cannot use PAM and
still take advantage of system-less home directories:
NOTE: PAM is only used for authenticating password. The authpam
module still uses the pwd.h and group.h library to find the
home directory and mailbox.
So instead of configuring authdaemon to use PAM, I ask it nicely to
use authuserdb:
##NAME: authmodulelist:0
#
# The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond.
# The default list is installed. You may selectively disable
# modules simply by removing them from the following list.
# The available modules you can use are: authcustom authcram
# authuserdb authldap authmysql authpam
# authmodulelist=authpam
authmodulelist=authuserdb
I then make sure everything has been restarted:
# ps ax | grep courier

Works beautifully (IMAP is 2 seconds faster). The trick for me was the
