Quick question. Is there a port, or a good tutorial guide on how to setup a server so that users can get mail but not actually have a legitimate shell account on the server. I only want three actual accounts that can login to the machine through sell and the console, but I want Qpopper to treat the users as though they actually had a shell account on the machine. Basically what I'm thinking is to use some form of user auth for the mail services through an SQL database of some kind. I've seen it done, but I'm not sure how to do it. Anyone have any ideas? Or do I need to use a different Pop3 mail server port to make use of this SQL database auth method I'm looking at doing? Also, if I want users to have to auth to send mail, can I setup sendmail to use this same database, or do I need to use something else?
