For immediate review by the list. Let me know if this is
clear enough, or if I left anything out. Thanks!
I wrote this with the intention of placing it in the main
INSTALL file. However, it's a bit long (by necessity), and
the formating is a little different than the other file
descriptions in INSTALL (they're all one paragraph), so...
what do you think Sam? (Also, note that I haven't stretched
it to fit the margins yet)
Here's the first draft:
---------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/domainmap - if this file exists then it
should contain colon (':') delimited records in the following format:
IP1:DOMAIN1
IP2:DOMAIN2
DOMAIN3:DOMAIN4
DOMAIN5:DOMAIN6
IP3:DOMAIN7
etc...
The domainmap file can be used to implement IP or DNS alias domains.
For example, if you have a domain, mydomain.com, with an IP address
of 13.13.13.13, and you place the following record into your domainmap
file:
13.13.13.13:mydomain.com
Then any user who accesses sqwebmail from the following URL:
http://mydomain.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail
will be able to log into the mydomain.com domain WITHOUT having to
include @mydomain.com as part of their userid.
Then same concept applies to virtual DNS domains. For example, if you
have the virtual DNS domain, myotherdomain.com, that shares one IP
address with 200 other domains, you can add the following record to
the domainmap file:
myotherdomain.com:myotherdomain.com
Then any user who accesses sqwebmail with the following URL:
http://myotherdomain.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail
will be able to log into the myotherdomain.com domain WITHOUT having
to include @myotherdomain.com as part of their userid.
How does it work? Sqwebmail compares the first field (before the colon)
of each line in the domainmap file with the SERVER_ADDR and HTTP_HOST
CGI environment variables. If it finds a match it stops processing the
domainmap file and does one of two things:
1.) If the logindomainlist file does NOT exist, sqwebmail sets the
value of the logindomain hidden field in the login.html page to the
value of the second field of the matching record in the domainmap
file. Note that no hidden field will be created if a match is not
found.
2.) If the logindomainlist file DOES exist, sqwebmail compares the
second field of the matching record in the domainmap file to each
record in the logindomainlist file. If a match is found, sqwebmail
will set the matching record to be the default when it displays the
logindomainlist drop down on the login.html page. Note that no option
will be defaulted if a match is not found.
