I have been reading up : http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/DovecotPostgresql to create virtual users who can access the email.
Can i follow these steps with a few changes to get to use mysql instead of Postgresql ?
Also i dont know if u all can help.. but i have tried to do :
SASL2 authentication configuration in main.cf(Postfix): smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = domain.org smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no
And when i start postfix with these settings i get an error saying"invlaid boolean" .. can anyone help ?

One thing you will probably need is the pam_mysql lib. If you're using an RPM-based system, you can get them from http://www.noidea.us/easyfile/index.php?folder=5 where I rebuilt the old MDK packages (v0.4.7) with pam_mysql 0.5. I've got the original package available as well as the SRPM and RPM for 0.5.
I'm running Postfix, Dovecot, Squirrelmail and Maia/Amavisd-new/ClamAV against MySQL right now for ~8 virtual users and 7 virtual domains, with a little hacking on Postfixadmin to create MySQL-crypt and MD5 passwords so that Postfix, Dovecot, SASL and Maia can all authenticate correctly.
I've been meaning to write this up into a HOWTO-doc, but I'm a) waiting on Dovecot 1 final, and b) waiting to get some new hardware to rebuild my mailserver. I'll eventually get this doc written, but if you need any other info in the meantime, I can pull my configs and see what I have to offer.
