Mail server on linux and users in AD


Hello,
I have this problem. We are running ms w2k3 servers in our network. All users are authetificated by these servers. I have also one linux box that offers internet acces, routing, mail services, etc. We are in process of migration from netware to windows and linux and the last server we need to migrate is mercury mail server that delivers mails to userīs mailboxes.
Now Iīd like to replace mercury by some linux solution.
I need some software(imap/pop server) that will authetificate users against w2k3 server and would deliver mails to users mailboxes on linux server.
Summary:
I already use postfix+amavis+spamassassin+nod32. Postfix sends clean mails to mercury. Now I want postfix to deliver mail to users mailboxes and some software that will provide imap/pop acces to users mails using credentials from active directory.
Thanks for help.

You might want to look at PAM and winbind to authenticate users with AD. I think that is you answer. It works with file shares. Linux Magazine did an articale on it.
