Subject:   Mail server with users in a database?
Message-ID:  <003f01c09c2a$b4057570$2618b3cf@picard>

Hi,

I am running 4.2-stable, and want to setup a mail server (preferably not
sendmail, but it will do in the absence of another solution) where the
accounts are from a database, rather than actual user accounts on the
system.  I would prefer the aliases to be database based as well.

I want to do this so that adding a new account or alias is as easy as a web
based interface to manipulate the database, rather than work something up
with expect to work with useradd and passwd.  Plus we have one system
already with 5,000+ email accounts, all shell accounts with /bin/false, and
it is slowing down the system (it is a RH 6.2 Linux box).

Thanks!
