Hi all,

I'm getting around to setting up my email server on opensuse 10.3 to
migrate from an older setup. Its a clean 10.3 install. I've used
postfix-cyrus imap-amavis-spamassassin-sieve in the past and like that
setup.

I'd like to have email users separate from local users. At present I only
have one local user, but may have a few family members use this machine with
their own logins at some point. I plan to have approx 10 to 20 email users,
so this is no big install, just my home email server.

Looking at yast to set up the MTA, it offers to set postfix up to auth
against an LDAP server and offers to set up that as a local LDAP. That
sounds interesting, but I don't need anything else to use LDAP except
posftix and imap. Is this the best way to accomplish what I want, or is
using another method of authing my email users better, and what would that
be?

Many thanks,

Jim F

I don't think you need ldap for Imap accounts with Cyrus.
Just add the users via cyrus admin and let cyrus take care
of it.

OK, I see how that will take care of cyrus imap, but do I need to do anything different with postfix to have that accept emails from those cyrus users, or will it already know that?

Thanks,

Jim
