Have you considered using "LDAP based" authentication in dovecot and
sendmail?

Is it possible to export the client socket to sendmail for smtp auth? 
What would be the sendmail.mc configuration for this?

   #client {

Typical use

  # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups

  #path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth

#}

It can also be the other way round: can Dovecot use Cyrus SASL for user 
authentication?

I need to use sendmail, ip based solutions like pop-before-smtp or 
poprelay are not an option.


Thanks, Mike

Not currently. They speak different protocols. Would be nice to have
that feature some day, but I'm not planning to write support for it
anytime soon.

[Dovecot] sendmail smtp auth using client socket

2009-02-12 Thread EQX 


Hi list

I searched the net, but could not find something related.

Is it possible to export the client socket to sendmail for smtp auth?  
What would be the sendmail.mc configuration for this?


   #client {
  # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use
  # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups
  # using it.
  #path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
  #mode = 0660
  #user = postfix
  #group = postfix
#}

It can also be the other way round: can Dovecot use Cyrus SASL for  
user authentication?

poprelay are not an option.
