I'm just doing some testing for setting up a virtual mailhosting I've read the Gentoo Virt Mail Howto and quite a few others but still have some questions.
Choosen Mail Server : Postfix IMAP Client under consideration : Cyrus IMAP/Courier IMAP/DoveCot Requirements. 1. Ability to do Virtual Mail Hosting 2. Ability to support local Users (see note) 3. Scalable 4. Support for flat file Passwords(/etc/passwd) or LDAP/MySQL Note : a. Some users will be local users. These users will have SSH/SFTP/FTP b. Some users will need to have FTP access (NO SSH) to webhosting The problem here is mainly due to note (a) and (b) where there is a need for local users. What I want, what is written on postfix's site (http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html) is a variation of i) NON Postfix Store : Separate Domains, NON-Unix Accounts and ii) Postfix store : Separate Domains, UNIX Accounts Can all of these be done using NON-Postfix Store (cyrus/courier/dovecot) : Separate Domains with Unix and Non Unix Accounts? Depending on whether there is need for note (a) and (b) or should I just put the local users on a separate box? -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
