Hello I would like to set up a Mail Server based on Postfix and Authentication against an LDAP directory. I think LDAP is a good Idea compared to Mysql so that it can be used to use as a directory in email client such as thunderbird. I would like to know if you plan to write such an howto... What are the restrictions/limitation compared to a MySQL based server. If someone wants to discuss about that, I would be glad to hear about.
Perhaps this might help... http://www.linux-mail.info/ It's a good tutorial but i'm having trouble with the LDAP binding part. I think it's a windows 2003 problem though. I am already setting-up my test lab for some isolation tests. Perhaps maybe when I get things right, I might post it here... =)
thanks for the link. I finally turned my mind to a solution integrating Exim instead of postfix (mainly for native and flexible content filtering and other cool features of exim). My setup is now working (EXIM4 + LDAP + CLAMAV + SPAMASSASSIN) I have to add POP3/IMAP support with dovecot (which I already did in the past and so should not be too dificult). I am actually trying to build a webadmin in written in PHP, which is much more painfull to me as I am not a native coder . If I finally succeed... I will publish it and maybe write here a little howto...
