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)
I do not want to create "host" user accounts jut add users to an alternative
authentication system
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
The point of this is that sales(_at_)yourco(_dot_)com is not the same user as
sales(_at_)myco(_dot_)com so I do not want to do the above, but I do want them
both to
have salesuser accounts.
I Know I can go for host accounts salesuser_ myco.com and salesuser_
yourco.com but the
whole point is to not set up a load of user accounts
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.
