Hello Everyone, I have been reading on the web about imap and pop daemons
that can search openldap for information required for handling email and was
curious if anyone is currently using this scheme. The current setup runs one
email server which handles pop/imap and sendmail for delivering the mail to the
machine. If I put imap/pop on another server and link the settings to
openldap, will it be possible for pop/imap server to handle getting email from
the server where it is stored? One more question is about integrating sendmail with
openldap … Currently the machine running sendmail is configured as an
openldap client and does ldapsearches whenever an email comes through to make
sure the account exists, however the sendmail asks the system for the search
and the system forwards that request to openldap. There are some documents on
sendmail and openldap that talk about using it for mail routing; is it possible
to configure sendmail to do ldapsearches on it is own or will it always need to
use the server it runs on to do searches? Thank you, Kevin Appel |
