Hi List, I'm working on a major email server revamp. We're moving from a sendmail UW-IMAP mbox local accounts setup to a postfix dovecot maildir virtual account setup. We're already authenticating users with LDAP, but I'd like to move anything I can to LDAP. I *think* I've got a pretty good idea how I'm going to handle most of it, but I'm not sure yet how to handle our group lists. The way we have it set up - well it sucks. But more to the point, we have a set of files that contain lists of email addresses for a certain group, department, whatever. Then /etc/aliases has an include entry for the file. So, it works, but it's painful to maintain. Another requirement we have is that we have certain groups we keep "locked" - we comment them out in the aliases file until someone requests a specific group, let them send, and re-comment it out so that not just anyone can email the whole organization. Again, this works, but there's got to be a better way to handle this. I'd like to make it so certain people can always email those addresses, but everyone else would need permission.
Does anyone have some insights they could share on how to move this functionality into LDAP with postfix? Thanks! Del .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
