I have my 2.0.9 sendmail 8.11.1 test server up and running, and happily
serving me my mail so far for about a week without problems.
My cohorts have cold feet about moving our user database over there,
though, because of the additional complexity of managing the SASL
username/password pairs as "yet another place to have to keep that stuff
in synch."
We are running 1.6.24 currently for the bulk of our users, and
authenticating out of the system /etc/passwd file.
If I may ask those who have blazed the ground ahead of me, what would
you recommend as a technology for us to manage ~1000 IMAP users? We
currently allow users to change their passwords at their pleasure--is
this something you other administrators out there do? Etc. etc.
I want to adopt something that's scalable and manageable. There is zero
enthusiasm for adding a sasldb management system onto the top of the
system we use already, which consists of Unix passwords and the infernal
mess of a password system that we use with Samba for our SMB users.
Thanks.
B.
