silly quesiton

[steph.mag220 at netcourrier.com]

Hi,

Up to now, I used PAM of each user in order to send and receive email. ( BTW, sending email, a use authentication was required and we used the login and passwd of the user on the system



Now, for dovecot, I start to use MD5 passwrd.. and that sounds to be OK



auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5

passdb { 
  driver = passwd-file
  # Path for passwd-file. Also set the default password scheme.
  args = scheme=cram-md5 /etc/cram-md5.pwd 
}



But changing the passwrd for the user1..  he can retrieve emails from dovecot, but cannot send anymore, because sending emails kept the old passwrd. ( using the PAM)



1) How can I says sendmail to use the same passwd file ( with MD5) than dovecot ?



2) Ideally, I would like to create virtual users for the same mailbox  Is that possible ?



like 2 files Users and PAsswrds pointing out the mailbox : maildir :/home/mailbox/user1

ex : 

user1 at foo.com  passwrd1  /home/mailbox/generic_mails

and 

user2 passwrd2  home/mailbox/generic_mails



How can I do that ?



Thanks for your help
