Re: [Dovecot] sendmail smtp auth using client socket

Hi list

I searched the net, but could not find something related.

Is it possible to export the client socket to sendmail for smtp auth? What would be the sendmail.mc configuration for this? #client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. #path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth #mode = 0660 #user = postfix #group = postfix #}

It can also be the other way round: can Dovecot use Cyrus SASL for user authentication?

Through pam, if you set "MECH=pam" in sasl config. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/PAM

I need to use sendmail, ip based solutions like pop-before-smtp or poprelay are not an option.
