OK, what I've seen this should be enough, because IMAP is just the storage

Do you get the rejections from SMTP, e.g. when you "invite" people to an 
appointment and these mails are sent as user groupware?


How about to setup KMail-Account "groupware" to sent as yourself? Just the 
access to the shared Groupware data via IMAP is then handled with the 
shared "groupware" user. Would be better, too, if someone is going to 
abuse this account or got trojan/virus infected.


Bye.

I really want the simplest possible design.  I have created an account on the 
server called groupware.  I've created a dimap account (in kmail on the 
client) called groupware and given it the password for the user groupware.  
When I found that I got rejections I read such docs as I found, and they 
seemed to say that I must have sasl working.  The docs on the kde site say 
that I need

in dovecot.conf:
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private.auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}
 and in postfix's main.cf

smtp_sasl_type = dovecot
smtp_sasl_path = private/auth
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, 
reject_unauth_destination

I've done that, but it doesn't work.  It looks as though I have to set up a 
password database, but I'd really like it to simply use the login database.  
I'm out of my depth here.

Thanks for replying.  I have had IMAP mail for some time, but to get the
resources working I need, apparently, to be able to log in as Groupware to
access the shared resources.

On the server I added sections to dovecot.conf and postfix main.cf as
described in HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL.  In KMail, on the client, I
used 'See what the server supports' and set it to TLS + clear text.  I don't
appear to be getting a rejection, but the resources are not being read.

/var/log/maillog shows these lines

Mar 17 13:35:52 borg2 postfix/smtp[24339]: fatal: specify a password table via
the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter


Hmm, I'd say that postfix has nothing to do with it. If you want to have 
postfix authentificate from the same Database as Dovecot, you need it, but 
otherwise I do not see no relation. Or do you installed some script, that 
checks mails for Groupware-related ones and act upon them immediately?


I cannot help you with Postfix.

For shared resources you'll need yet another, shared account or look into 
the ACL plugin. KOrganizer even supports imap URLs natively, I saw right 
now.

Can anyone give me a kickstart on this?


Dunno exactly, I tried it once for a colleague, but don't use it myself:

1) enter KMail
2) Create an Identity that can login into IMAP successfully
3) Configure KMail | Misc | Groupware
3a) Enable IMAP resource functionality
3b) configure the remaining stuff on the dialogue

The information is saved as messages in special IMAP mail folders, so the 
ability to login into IMAP is essential.


I'm not sure, I think you need to do something in KOrganizer, e.g. pull in 
some remote calendar "IMAP", too.
