[Postfixadmin-devel] courier-mta and aliases dir

[Stefan B. <tu...@tu...>]

Hi!

How to implement aliases in "Courier-MTA" style with postfix admin?

I think something like postfixadmin-alias-postcreation.sh and  
postfixadmin-alias-deletion.sh


Please help!

Unfortunately I don't understand your problem and also don't know what 
you mean with Courier style aliases.

In my setup, postfix handles all the aliases and courier only knows 
about mailboxes (via courier-authdaemon, directly from MySQL). Maildrop 
does the delivery to the mailboxes.

So: What exactly do you want to do? What's the problem?

You don't need the aliases for courier-authlib. The mailbox table contains
everything you need ;-)

Here's the config I'm using on a server with courier-authlib-0.58.
It still uses the old-style syntax with lots of MYSQL_* variables, but
works perfectly - so why should I change it?

# grep '^[^#]' authdaemonrc
authmodulelist="authmysql"
authmodulelistorig="authuserdb authpam authldap authmysql authcustom authpipe"
daemons=5
authdaemonvar=/var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap
DEBUG_LOGIN=0
DEFAULTOPTIONS=""
LOGGEROPTS=""

# grep '^[^#]' authmysqlrc
MYSQL_SERVER            localhost
MYSQL_USERNAME          mail-courier
MYSQL_PASSWORD          your_password_here
MYSQL_SOCKET            /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
MYSQL_OPT               0
MYSQL_DATABASE          mail
MYSQL_USER_TABLE        mailbox
MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD     password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD         '20000'
MYSQL_GID_FIELD         '10002'
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD       username
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD        '/home/mailbox/'
MYSQL_NAME_FIELD        name
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD     maildir
MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD       concat(quota,'S')
MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE      active=1

Yes, I'm storing cleartext passwords in my database. Not nice, but it 
works quite good ;-)  You might want to use
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD   password
instead if you store your passwords encrypted.

You will also need to change MYSQL_UID_FIELD and MYSQL_GID_FIELD. They 
are set to a static UID and GID. This has to match the user that owns 
your mailboxes directory.

BTW: The only permissions the MySQL user needs are SELECT permissions on
the mailbox table.
