> Virtual user/domain

> That is, not only virtual domains, but also users defined by domain.  So in
> the MySQL user table, the email value is set to user at domain.  Thus a user
> can receive/send mail from multiple domains with the same addr and only
> those domains defined for the user in the user table.
>
> Obviously there is no coupling of Linux user accounts and email accounts.
> CourierMail is storing mail under /home/vmail/domain/user/...
>
> Encrypted passwords
>
> The passwords in the user table in MySQL are encrypted.  This will be used
> to auth the user for POPing or IMAPing and sending their mail.  I have
> encountered a few tutorials where it seems like passwords are stored in the
> clear?
>
> Anyway, not much else!  Well as far as the user interface is concerned.
> Postfix with clamav and spamassassin and maybe one or two extras.  And
> SquirrelMail for Webmail.  A better gui than phpMyAdmin for maintaining the
> tables would be nice, but I don't have a lot of users, so it works well
> enough.
>
> Can someone point me to a tutorial best suited to my needs?
>
> Also any firewall rules, as I don't want to turn off iptables (and
> ip6tables) and any SELinux policy rules to add.
>
> Oh, and IPv6 will be a must in the near future, so anything needed to ensure
> IPv6 working right as well.
