[Courier-imap] =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Authlib_with_XMail?=

[Dennis J. <jl...@gm...>]

Hi again!

Now as I have Courier IMAP running with XMail, I'd like to make it more
comfortable. For now, I have to add a user to the IMAP-usertable
additionally to the user account creation at XMail. Also, when an user
changes his password in Xmail, this does not apply to the Courier users
table.

I know little about how Authlib works, but what I read is that it can use
textfile databases.

Now, XMail does have a textfile containing all users. It's the file
'mailusers.tab' and it contains one line for each user:

"domain"[TAB]"username"[TAB]"passwd"[TAB]"id"[TAB]"dir"[TAB]"type"[NEWLINE]

Where "domain" is the domain (as 'foo.org'), "username" is the account name
(as 'webmaster'), "passwd" is an encrypted password (can't tell yet how it
is encrypted), "id" is a unique integer, "dir" is the users home directory
and "type" is "U" for users and "M" for mailing lists.

My question now is: Wouldn't it be possible to have Courier IMAP authorize a
user with that file?

Cheerz,
Dennis
