Hello Andre,
Thanks for your response,
Andre Eisvogel, 21.08.2007 (d.m.y):
I'm running a linuxbox with ' Dovecot<->Exim<->horde/IMP<-> Mysql ', this is a very good combination and works excellent for the system users.
Now I want to change the configuration and authenticate against the mysql database from horde. That way it is much easy for me to create (virtual) mail users. I also want to use the mail alias of the horde users for Exim and Dovecot.
My questions are; is it possible to use the horde mysql database for this?
Yes - you can (and most probably need to) create additional tables in the horde database. Using the stock horde database would not help you, because horde just uses it as a container to store your users' preferences.
The existing user_uid and user_pass from the horde database is not enough to authenticate a user for Dovecot or Exim? Which additional tables do i have to create in the horde database?
And is it also possible for the mail alias of horde?
What is the "mail alias of horde"? IMO, horde in general and imp in special isn't aware of aliases at all.
It is possible for a Imp user to make an alias for its e-mail address and use this to send and receive e-mail. Now I want use this possibility as a replacement (or substitute?) for the standard '/etc/aliases' file of Exim. Unfortunately I do not know how and where horde/Imp stores these aliases.
