Comments on Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 9.10)
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 9.10) This document describes how to install a mail server based on Postfix 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 (quota is not built into Postfix by default, I'll show how to patch your Postfix appropriately). Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database (most documents I found were dealing with plain text passwords which is a security risk). 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.

Good, new Ubuntu, seems Ubuntu has updated quickly.
Falko,
how to integrate with postfixadmin to maintain the virtual domains?
No missing clue using your guidance. Many thanks
Top job. Works like a dream........
assuming it dosn't take three days to find a typo made when creating a file. My typo, not yours ;)
Thanks for the great How-To.
I am now contactable on several email addresses hosted as virtual domains on my server.
You Rock.
