One of the problems I am currently facing is merging a MS exchange server with=20 thousands of users authenticating using domain\username as their username= =2E 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\usernam= e ) 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, t= his will eventually be linked to the rest of the customer db with billing inf= o 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 i= t doesn't seem to be able to authenticate with courier-pop3/imap. e.
