Vpopmail + postfix integration
Alex Kramarov
I have started a long time with the unix world by setting up a mail
server. at the time it was qmail. Now I use postfix for my mail
gateways, but it's time I move my main servers to postfix (slowly and
ceryfully).
I have a large system based on qmail+vpopmail which is an extention of
virtual domain management for qmail. vpopmail works as a final
delivery agent (progmail for example) by executing a "vdelivermail"
program in a context of "vpopmail" user, reading target email address
in enviropment variables set by qmail and reading the mail itself from
stdin.
I have tryed to setup postfix to use vpopmail, and I have got some
results :
by setting the following :
home_mailbox = Maildir/
#delivery to maildir
recipient_delimiter = -
#qmail default recipient delimiter is "-"
mailbox_command = env EXT="$EXTENSION" HOST="$DOMAIN"
/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
#this is the enviropment vpopmail expects to recieve. it can be easely
modified to rely on postfix enviropment for delivery, thus avoiding
all the env trickery
luser_relay = vpopmail-$local@$domain
#redirect all mail to users not found to deliver to
vpopmail-extention@domain
this works (for all non-unix users), but what do i do for these in
etc/passwd ?
is there a better way to do this?
Generally, my target is to deliver all mail coming to a domain under a
single unix user, and preserve the original message recipient address
to the final delivery agent (at least in the enviropment vars).
Thank you in advance. This may help alot the qmail community to see
the light about postfix.
