I need a Guide!!

[notaloafer]

Right now I have the following apps installed for my mail server (they are all working perfectly)


Postfix
Postfix SMTP-Auth
Courier-IMAP
Courier-SMTP


They are all working perfectly fine and everyone is enjoying the email server. What I need to do is upgrade to MySQL-Stored virtual users (yes I have MySQL installed already). I need this because I'm dealing with several domains and need a easier way to administrate users rather than just creating linux system users for all my mail accounts.

What would be a good tutorial to accomplish this? I tried a few on this website but they all want me to use dovecot, or different mail programs to accomplish the same thing. Is there any tutorial that I can use to add on to my installation or do I need to start from scratch again?

Thanks

yes, i would want to go through a tutorial on those as well. :guitar: that would be very helpful on my server.

i hope some one knows of a good one, or at least one..

See the postfix website. There are lots of good howto guides.

I have used postfix exclusively for the past 5 years, but recently abandoned it, since it is just too much trouble to configure and maintain it. You should look into Citadel: http://www.citadel.org It is very easy to install, uses a BerkeleyDB database back-end (you can have 256 TB of mail!) and it is zero maintenance.

The reason postfix became popular, was because it is a plug in replacement for sendmail, which is a total abortion. Postfix is a good learning experience, but there are much better ways to do things.
