Hi Everyone,

I wish to run Dovecot on my "Front End" outbound mail relay, and use Dovecot purely for authentication purposes. However, each mysql database for each domain will be on a separate server. Is there a way for dovecot to authenticate against different databases depending on domain name?

Thanks

I had a look there, but that doesn't have anything on a domain-by-domain basis

Yes, but the problem there is that each database is controlled by different untrusted individuals. If someone were to create a username/password on a database that is higher in the list, they could authenticate as that user, which is undesirable.

I guess you could install an mysql to do this. Like trigerrs to others databases.

Sorry, don't know much of this.

Not directly. You could create a checkpassword script to do it though.
