In no particular order: you can have users that only exist in Cyrus. These need sasldb password entries. You also can have users that exist in /etc/passwd, etc. These can also have entries in sasldb, _or_ they can authenticate against the system passwrod database. That's the job of pwcheck: you (imapd, actually) give it a username and password, and it checks it against the system database. You _can_ (if I recall correctly) configure cyrus to create user mailboxes "on the fly". Otherwise, before you can deliver mail to a user you'll need to make them a mailbox. Using cyradm to do something like: cm user.foobar is sufficient if "foobar" is a system user. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Donate a signature: http://tribble.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/~cmjg/sig-submit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
