Dear list members,
i am looking for a pop3 server and would like to know dovecot pop3 closer. In my current infra structure all my users have a single login and one password. I have been authenticating unix, web, ldap, smtp against saslauthd server.
It is possible to have dovecot pop3 authenticate by contacting saslauthd too ?
Another question:
All my user information are keeped inside LDAP using qmail.schema. Can dovecot pop3 look into ldap an return information about user mail directory, etc .... ?
Thanks in advance.

No, but Dovecot can lookup users in LDAP, authenticaten and authorize them.

Yes, it can and it is very flexible. Either you only lookup a few items and derive the rest from standard settings configured in Dovecot or you have Dovecot lookup everything in LDAP. In any case you simply map the LDAP attributes to Dovecot atttributes as you need it. Once you understood it (it's not too complicated) it's even fun. ;)

I am not an OpenBSD guy. Maybe someone else can share experiences.
