It is my understanding from the Dovecot documentation, that it supports virtual domains several different ways, indeed: http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotFeatures *** QUOTE *** Dovecot supports a wide variety of Virtual User Configurations so you can support multiple domains using a variety of methods. *** END QUOTE *** ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Is that correct, or is there a way to accomplish it. This can be done. If you only want to serve one domain any imap/pop server will do: dovecot, cyrus-imap or currier all serve fine as MDA's (although I've only tried cyrus). Postfix is easy to setup as MTA. For authentication you have a number of choices: The easy is to add users as unix users, you don't need to give them a shell, just use /sbin/nologin. Then you need to setup sasl with saslauthd. This setup is fine for small scale. For large scale you may want to look at authentication using ldap and choose the more powerful MDA. If you need virtual domains, or serve multiple domains and allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be different from [EMAIL PROTECTED] then you definitely need ldap and the powerful MDA. Last time I checked dovecot did not support virtual domains. One last thing: If you don't rely on unix accounts then you need tell the MTA which accounts to receive mail for. Otherwise you can get DDOS'ed: The MTA will receive the entire mail (spam) and attempt local delivery to the MDA, when this fails try to return it. This is quickly a lot of data and resources that is sucked up. I have tried that, not fun! If the MTA knows valid recipients then a lot of junk can be quickly rejected. There are spammers that mail random addresses.

Is that correct, or is there a way to accomplish it. Look into dovecot for POP access and postfix for SMTP access. Both allow virtual users either via flat files or via database lookups. If you want FTP, pure-ftpd can look at a database as well. So, yeah, you can do it. -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
