Looking through the mailing list archives I found this thread: (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8355777) --- >Very specifically, I want the notion of DEFAULT_DOMAIN (as optionally >defined in etc/authmysqlrc) to be determined from the I.P. address >locally as one of many aliased I.P. addresses. > >For example: > >If I have 10 aliased I.P. address on a machine, each DNS mapped >to names like: mail.someplace.com > mail.otherplace.com > . > . > mail.yetanother.com > >... I would like authentication by a user through one of those >aliased I.P. addresses to be able to just authenticate >as "bob" and if he is listed in one of those domains (on the >MySQL user database for that domain) then his auththentication >will succeed due to the DEFAULT_DOMAIN getting set to his >domain. ---
This is the same problem I'm currently trying to solve - since the question quoted was posted in 2002 I figured I'd ask if this has become pratical since then. I'm using postfix and mysql for mail delivery and tpop3d for a popper, tpop3d handles the pop auth requests based on the reverse lookup for the ip the user connected - hopefully courier can do something similar so I can put it into production.
