Comments on Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Fedora 15 x86_64)
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Fedora 15 x86_64) This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database. In addition to that, this tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and viruses. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change their passwords.

At the part where the newly built, patched postfix package is installed, rather that using:
rpm -ivh postfix-2.8.2-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm
may I suggest using:
yum localinstall postfix-2.8.2-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm
as this helps yum keep from complaining about having altered the RPM database outside of using yum?
Great article just the same.
