Postfix -> Virtual Email Accounts
 

hi

on debian sarge stable I've installed:

postfix with TLS/SASL
courier-IMAP/courier-POP3
squirrelmail

and it works.

howto setup virtual email accounts, I mean not system accounts ?

unfortunately I never had any luck with this. I ended up using virtial alias tables. So I still created a system account like always, but instead of using /etc/aliases I used /etc/postfix/virtual and I specified aliases for multiple domains. I know it doesn't answer your question but I hope this helps.

could I give pls some more details ?

Have you read the virual docs on the postfix site? They're pretty detailed

Try reading the default man page that is included in the virtual file in /etc/postfix/

Also, to create virtual users as you imply, sounds as if you need to setup either LDAP or MySQL/DB backend to handle the virtual email accounts for authentication.

Other than that, www.postfix.org is a good site to learn more about Postfix and it's capabilities.

thanks,but is it any way to create virtual accounts without mysql or any other database ?

Pretty sure you can do it with a hash table (similar to the aliases file)

from the postfix doc page
