dovecot - Apr 2003 - dovecot and virtual users

Hello,


I set up a virtual smtp with exim (mails stored in /var/virtual/{domain}/{user},
passwd in /etc/virtual/{domain}.passwd). I have a patched pop3 server to deal
with these mail boxes.

Would it be possible to use dovecot as imap server, or (even better) for imap
and pop3, with this virtual domain model ?

Thanks, read you.

Well, I guess that's INBOX. You'll also need a directory to contain rest
of the IMAP folders. Something like this maybe:

default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/virtual/%d/%n

or default_mail_env = mbox:/var/virtual/%d/%n-dirs/
> passwd in /etc/virtual/{domain}.passwd).
This isn't supported currently. You could use passwd-file, but you'll
have to list the users like "user at domain:...etc..."
