As a side note, I was troubled with the same type of request several months back. I ended up writing a PAM module that does a username@domain.com --> unique_id translation out of a Mysql DB. The Unique_id is then carried in the password file for use with password authentication (also done in the PAM module). It also does other things as well, like handling duplicate usernames if someone doesn't supply the domain part of the username. So username "paul" and username "paul" could be different users (based on password). What does this gain you? Well, it allows any program that uses this PAM module to authenticate username@domain combos instead of keeping proprietary mappings for each service that needs this functionailty. I currently have FTP/IMAP/POP/Radius all using this module to handle authentication. We use this as the core of our WHolesale ISP business (all powered by FreeBSD of course). It's currently handling requests for about 10-15K users. As far as our webmail, I added squirrelmail for the webmail client. Since it uses PHP which in turn uses the cclient libraries (to access the mailbox) which in turn uses PAM, it works like a charm. I plan on moving this out into the ports collection once I get the documentation and code cleaned up a bit. It will be called pam-vuser.
