Hello! I have set up a mail system accordingly http://howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-fedora-13-x86_64 everything works fine. But i would like to know if its possible to add a new field name to users table and use it as mail sender/recipient name? What i did: I have uncommented MYSQL_NAME_FIELD in authmysqlrc and pointed required field name, added to the table USERS new field name, filled it. Like this: MYSQL_NAME_FIELD name After restarting the server i mailed a sample letter but sender was e-mail address not the name from table users. Would you be so kind to answer my question
Sure! Here it is... MYSQL_SERVER localhost MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin MYSQL_PASSWORD xxxxxxxx MYSQL_PORT 0 MYSQL_DATABASE mail MYSQL_USER_TABLE users MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password #MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000 MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000 MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail" MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') MYSQL_NAME_FIELD name MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota I also turned DEBUG_LOGIN=2 in /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc to watch mail log for reading "name" field from table. Here some of it, hope it would help Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: received auth request, service=smtp, authtype=login Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: authmysql: trying this module Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: SQL query: SELECT email, password, "", 5000, 5000, "/home/vmail", CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/'), quota, name, "" FROM users WHERE email = '[email protected]' Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: password matches successfully Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: authmysql: sysusername=<null>, sysuserid=5000, sysgroupid=5000, homedir=/home/vmail, [email protected], fullname=Vedischev V.N., maildir=domain.ru/vvedischev/, quota=209715200, options=<null> Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: authmysql: clearpasswd=<null>, passwd=BAcr3ni.MG.eY Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=<null>, sysuserid=5000, sysgroupid=5000, homedir=/home/vmail, [email protected], fullname=Vedischev V.N., maildir=domain.ru/vvedischev/, quota=209715200, options=<null> Sep 16 00:03:18 mail authdaemond: Authenticated: clearpasswd=xxxxxxxx, passwd=BAcr3ni.MG.eY here we can see fullname takes exact meaning of name field from user table. But sender's/recipient's name goes e-mail anyway.
Ah, now I understand what you're trying to do. You must set the sender name in your email client, and besides, authmysqlrc is used by Courier which just fetches mails from your mailbox via IMAP/POP3. Postfix is used for sending mails.
Yes i know i should set sender's name in my mail client to see it. But i would like to know if it is possible for postfix to send name that courier reads from users table without setting user's name in e-mail client? If its possible i would like to know how i can do it.
