Hello all. Sorry for a lot of question - im making a new mail system now. Im wondering how to auth different MUA. For example Thunderbird & The Bat 4.x - CRAM-MD5 MS Outlook 2007 - DIGEST-MD5 Im create a 3 users and store passwords in LDAP using MD5-CRYPT(1), CRYPT(2) and MD5(3) - for tests.

Hello all, attached patch makes possible to use dovecot as an authentication backend for Exim 4. Reasons beyond this patch are simple: exim's authenticators require use of plaintext passwords and NTLM code in exim is quite outdated and hairy. Patch generated against Exim 4.43, but should apply to earlier versions too. Patch adds new 'dovecot' authenticator, which can be used as such:

hi, i'm running dovecot branch_10 cvs on OSX 10.4.7 w/ exim 4.63. i'd like to use Dovecot's SASL as an auth backend to exim, instead of Cyrus-SASL. @ dovecot's sasl page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Sasl i know there's a patch against exim 4.43: http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingDovecot that, purportedly, enables EXIM to use dovecot's SASL as an

Hello All, I haven't seen the answer to this, maybe I am just using the wrong searches. I have two queries related to this: 1) I have seen how to configure for LDAP and Kerberos. AD uses both together. All user information is in AD/LDAP and authentication is AD/Kerberos. How can I configure Dovecot to use both appropriately? 2) I can cause Samba to create certain directories on login, etc.
