Hello,
I have RHEL v4 Linux.
I have always been using exim with teapop (po3 client) for my emails.
I would like to try dovecot (imap) because I would like to implement squirrelmail.
I'm hosting several domains with email each on different IP.
I have the some user names in different domains with my pop3 teapop.
Can I have it with dovecot.
I managed to configure exim to deliver messages for localuser to Maildir directory.
directory = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}/Maildir
and for virtual_users to Maildir directory.
directory = /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/Maildir
This is working. Email are delivered.
But I cannot to connect with my Outlook Express to imap server and download them.
I cannot see how dovecot would differentiate between users with the some named in different domains.
I believe that me configurations is not right.
I would like for starters to have real user to be checked (like in teapop) against /etc/password /etc/shadow file,
and virtual user against
/etc/mail/passwd.domain file
which would contain login:passwd pairs.
Do I need like with teapop different IP for every domain ?
How do I do that?
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm going for a few days vacation I hope that somebody will be able to give me some hints.
I have attached my dovecot.conf file.
regards
