I'm just doing some testing for setting up a virtual mailhosting |
| 2 |
I've read the Gentoo Virt Mail Howto and quite a few others but still |
| 3 |
have some questions. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Choosen Mail Server : Postfix |
| 6 |
IMAP Client under consideration : Cyrus IMAP/Courier IMAP/DoveCot |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Requirements. |
| 9 |
1. Ability to do Virtual Mail Hosting |
| 10 |
2. Ability to support local Users (see note) |
| 11 |
3. Scalable |
| 12 |
4. Support for flat file Passwords(/etc/passwd) or LDAP/MySQL |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Note : |
| 15 |
a. Some users will be local users. These users will have SSH/SFTP/FTP |
| 16 |
b. Some users will need to have FTP access (NO SSH) to webhosting |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The problem here is mainly due to note (a) and (b) where there is a need |
| 19 |
for local users. What I want, what is written on postfix's site |
| 20 |
(http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html) is a variation of |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
i) NON Postfix Store : Separate Domains, NON-Unix Accounts |
| 23 |
and |
| 24 |
ii) Postfix store : Separate Domains, UNIX Accounts |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Can all of these be done using NON-Postfix Store |
| 27 |
(cyrus/courier/dovecot) : Separate Domains with Unix and Non Unix |
| 28 |
Accounts? Depending on whether there is need for note (a) and (b) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
or should I just put the local users on a separate box? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
What are you using? I've seen quite a lot of Howto and docs but seems like |
| 33 |
my choice isn't one of those widely used scenerios. In addition to that, |
| 34 |
it also doesn't seem cyrus-imapd is much used too. |
