Hi Chris

I was first following up the approach of having a filebased db because it seemed to me a bit more rightsized for my aprox. 50 users. But maybe LDAP isn't that hard to setup. I will have a look at the various how-to's. Do you have it implemented that way?

Thanks, good input.

Kind regards

Chris

Hi

First of all thanks to the authors of dovecot. It's a pleasure to work with it.

I would like to ask, if somebody has an idea about how I can combine all mailusers (dovecot pop/imap & sendmail smtp) into one db, given that I'd like to use sasl with CRAM-MD5 as authentication mechanism to ensure security. The idea behind my question is, that it is easier to administer all mail users, which in my case are mostly non-interactive users, into one db, instead of creating native unix accounts for them.

Any input appreciated.

Thanks and Kind regards

Chris

Hi Chris

Have you considered an LDAP directory? From what you have described, it sounds like the appropriate solution.
