Speaking about multiple DB ... A my customer has a server (CentOS 6.x, dovecot 2.0.x, postfix, Squirrel+RoundCube with vacation and password plug-in), with about 3.000 users (about 200 different domains), all defined as system users and home as /home/mail/%user% The system works fine. Its only additional interest is authenticating users like user at domain.tld / password (maintaining also the current user.domain / password). Is it possible and How complex configuring a similar environment? Only matter of sync /etc/shadow and DB or other problems? Regards, Paolo

Currently the fallback works only with the PLAIN authentication mechanism ... # if not found, fallback to /etc/passwd userdb { driver = passwd } but that isnt good design, better migrate all to full virtual setup Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstra?e 15, 81669 M?nchen Sitz der Gesellschaft: M?nchen, Amtsgericht M?nchen: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Axel von der Ohe, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein
