Is there any facility to let dovecot do username mapping?
If I eg have a file: usermapping that looks like this:
user@domain1.com domain1_user user@domain2.com user_domain2 user@domain3.com domain3.user
Yes, but can you change your passdb? You can use any passdb that allows specifying user=user@domain extra field (http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields). For example with passwd-file (http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile):
domain1_user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/domain1.com/user::user=user@domain1.com
Thanks, this seems to be what I am looking for. However, I am not sure if I am reading the links right. I am supposed to make a custom passwd-file, and point dovecot to this?
I can use a script to parse genericstable or even virtusertable and add this information at the end of the dovecot-passwd-file?
And I can still use /etc/passwd as a fallback in case something goes wrong? As long as I keep userdb passwd in dovecot.conf?
Well, I think I should be reading some more documentation and look at the example configs on the wiki. Thanks for the help!
