The thing what I can understand is that if just sendmail just gives
maildrop all the mails it will handle the mysql/ldap part but still when
sending with authentication you need to do a lookup against ldap/mysql
I'm looking for some guide on how to configure this and I'm not
intrested in moving away from sendmail.
What kind of authorisation are you talking about ?
Both smtp authorisation and imap/pop3 authorisation are not handled
by maildrop, no matter what.
Maildrop just handles the mail delivery, nothing else.
He is talking about SMTP AUTH whereby you have to login to the mail
server before you can use it.
There is a way to do this but it looks ugly. You could configure
sendmail to use SASL which can in turn authenticate against Kerberos
which can store its auth info in LDAP. Don't ask me how to set it up,
this is just based on a couple of quick web searches.
Yeah, but right now he's looking at mySQL.
Besides that sasl can also use pam. That + pam_mysql would give you the
same results against mySQL.
Both mysql and ldap is acceptable, I'm mostly looking for a stable
solution that is easy to admin and scalable
