I wrote that at the end of a long day. Actually, it could work two ways. 1.) Just as you say above. The user logs into tmda-ofmipd on host bar.com as user joe, and tmda-ofmipd passes [EMAIL PROTECTED] on to whichever authentication server it is configured to use. (imaps, imap, pop3, ldap, etc.) 2.) Slightly different. The user logs into tmda-ofmipd on host bar.com as user joe, and tmda-ofmipd logs into bar.com:993 (imaps) and tries to authenticate user joe. Similarly, the user can log into another virtual domain, foo.com as user joe, and tmda- ofmipd logs into foo.com:993 (imaps) and tries to authenticate user joe. In this case, both foo.com and bar.com are *physically* on the same machine. And tmda-ofmipd is running with '-p 0.0.0.0:8025' so that it will listen to port 8025 on ALL IP aliases of the machine. -- Was that a decent explanation? I'm going to have to explain this to the developers sometime, so I might as well get it right. > > > Tim, Jason, what do you think ?

I've never run VMailMgr. I don't know if it supports virtual IP-based domains or not. I'd be willing to find out though. I'd like to do this the right way the first time. One more thing to note: Option #2 above requires that the IMAP or POP server support IP-based domains natively. Option #1 does not. It may only be necessary to implement option #1, since it's the most flexible. > > > Tim > _____________________________________________ > tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users > _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
