Can anyone point me in the right direction I wish to achieve the following:-
Outline
I have a sever running a number of virtual domains on one IP address.
I want to be able to use sendmail to collect the mail split it by domain
and then pass it over to Procmail for local delivery (I think I'm OK up to
here).
I then need Procmail to sub dived the mail for users in each domain.
Users will then be able to POP their mail.
Which implies that they have a username/password on the server, which means
you can just accomplish this the proper way:
Create "host" user account (the username/password they log in with)
Properly add that user to the sendmail virtusertable or aliases file
Restart sendmail (to effect config file changes)
For how to configure sendmail, see <http://www.sendmail.org>, go to
<news:comp.mail.sendmail>, or pick up the sendmail "bat" book from ORA.
I do not want a user account for each user in each domain (i.e. Qpopper
needs alternative authentication)
virtusertable:
sales(_at_)myco(_dot_)com salesuser
sales(_at_)yourco(_dot_)com salesuser
I want to be able to support sales(_at_)myco(_dot_)com and sales(_at_)yourco(_dot_)com (Same
account name at different domains) Ideally the POP daemon would recognise
the domain name it was called as and use the corresponding spool and
password files.
I'm sure you realize that procmail has nothing at all to do with your POP
daemon. If you're looking for something special for your POP daemon,
you'll need to find (or write) a pop daemon capable of doing what you're
asking for.
