Hmm, I'd say that postfix has nothing to do with it. If you want to have postfix authentificate from the same Database as Dovecot, you need it, but otherwise I do not see no relation. Or do you installed some script, that checks mails for Groupware-related ones and act upon them immediately?
I cannot help you with Postfix.
For shared resources you'll need yet another, shared account or look into the ACL plugin. KOrganizer even supports imap URLs natively, I saw right now.
I really want the simplest possible design. I have created an account on the
server called groupware. I've created a dimap account (in kmail on the
client) called groupware and given it the password for the user groupware.
When I found that I got rejections I read such docs as I found, and they
seemed to say that I must have sasl working. The docs on the kde site say
that I need
in dovecot.conf: auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private.auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } and in postfix's main.cf
smtp_sasl_type = dovecot smtp_sasl_path = private/auth smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
I've done that, but it doesn't work. It looks as though I have to set up a
password database, but I'd really like it to simply use the login database.
I'm out of my depth here.
