[Dovecot] Dovecot + PostgreSQL + Postfix with SMTP AUTH HOWTO
Just built one and figured I'd write down what I did :) Still needing some web thingy to configure it. At least a password changer plugin for Squirrelmail.

Cool. I've built something similar with MySQL instead of Postgres recently. I have to use passwd-file until Dovecot supports Mysql directly which is a bit hackish obviously. I have a perl CGI GUI thing that's almost done, it supports multiple admins each with access only to their own domains. It should be easily possible to make it use postgres instead of mysql. I'll drop a note here when it's ready for testing, I'll be releasing it under the GPL.

speaking of MySQL support, how many folks would use this?
i am comfortable with the MySQL C API, but after poking around the dovecot src/auth directory, it looks like there are quite a few files and linkages that have to be created to get a new auth module up and running. is there any documentation available for the dovecot AUTH mechanism?
cheers.

There's already a mysql auth module, although it needs a few more fixes:

I'll add it to next release.
