Greetings, I'm busy with project which involves merging different mail servers with differnet setups *transparently* into one "beeg" mail enviroment. One of the problems I am currently facing is merging a MS exchange server with thousands of users authenticating using domain\username as their username. So far I'm considering using postfix + mysql + courier-imap + vmailadmin. I've based my setup on the following guides. - http://www.probsd.net/vmail/ - http://www.marlow.dk/postfix/ But it gets a little tricky with the merge of the exchange server. - Is it possible to authenticate exchange type usernames ( domain\username ) in a unix mail enviroment. If so what should I use etc. - I would like to do this and still keep the user info in the mysql db, this will eventually be linked to the rest of the customer db with billing info etc. which is also kept in a mysql db. Any hints ? Has anybody else done something similar, maybe my setup is wrong for this kind of thing and I should be looking at something else ? Any help will be appreciated. I've tried adding an account with domain\username into the mysql db but it doesn't seem to be able to authenticate with courier-pop3/imap. e.
