Hello Friends,


Let me take Adam on this ;)

And you by extension.

I tried openwebmail today. It was very difficult to get running under a
virtualhost in apache. Perhaps I missed some point but even as
we speak, I still believe something is not right with the setup.
http://owm.wananchi.com.

The login window looks very nice, but I haven't managed to get it to
authenticate a user at all. Why? Because I am still not sure. I think
I will need a whole night (w/o interferences) to do that. Those who
have used it may help me though.
I am moving towards a complete virtual setup where all users are in
a MySQL database. What I would like to know (which I so far doubt) is
whether openwebmail can authenticate using encrypted passwords (md5 -
same as those we have in master.passwd) from the DB. My setup stores
mail in /var/spool/virtual/$domain/$user/Maildir/. Is openwebmail
ever capable of reading the mail from this path, leave alone from
/home/$user/Maildir ($HOME/Maildir)??

Can it accept virtual user logins (user@domains)??

Or perhaps I can use PAM, with pam_mysql??

I'd very much appreciate any pointers. The webforum for OWM is not
the best that I have ever seen. I like Mailman-like forums, not one
like the owm one;)

The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and
religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging
=66rom the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its
yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the
world put together.
