Yup, that fixed it. I'm not looking at the Makefile documentation, but 
perhaps it's not very clear on this point. (Or perhaps I need to read better.)

After Qmail - What next

Hello everybody,

I have installed qmail on Red Hat 8 and want to proceed further. My
requirements are

1. LDAP authentication
2. POP3 mail.
3. Web Mail.
4. Easy Admin Interface.

What are my choices in software. I am considering vpopmail (with LDAP
module) +  SqWebmail + vQadmin.

Will this combination satisfy my requirements ? Or is there any other better
choice available ?

Thanks for the help :-)

I use Courier IMAP/POP (it's using PAM/NSS for lookup).

I just released v2.0.8 of phpQLAdmin, which I consider stable enough
for real use...

Well, since this is a frequently discussed topic on many mailing lists,
search the archives.

RE: After Qmail - What next

I don't think you may need vpopmail if you are going to run qmail-ldap. The
only type of administrative tools/clients you will then need is any client
that can interact with the LDAP server so as to manage the qmail users data
stored in the ldap directory. If you are a developer you may write your own
front end to access and populate the ldap directory with data for example if
you are comfortable with Java you may use JNDI to do the same.
Of course for qmail-ldap, you should first get to know LDAP. We use vpopmail
for easy administration of virtual domains, now when we run qmail with the
ldap patch most of the data required for virtual domains and accounts will
reside in the LDAP server, and you use "control/rcpthosts" and
"control/locals" files (this file will "also include all your virtual
domains"), you will not use "control/virtualdomains" file.

  Yes you are correct ... thanks,
  but i think for domain aliassing do need virtualdomains file ?
  as mentioned in life-with-qmail-ldap, and what actually domain
  aliassing is all about if we can solve our purpose with virtual domains?

Qmail + LDAP + POP3

Hello everybody,

I want to use Qmail + POP3 + LDAP authentication. I want to test vpopmail
and courier imap for this. Do I need to patch Qmail with Qmail-LDAP before
installing the other software ? Somebody please clarify.

RE: Qmail + LDAP + POP3

Yes you do need to first patch the qmail-1.03 source with the qmail-ldap
patch. Let me explain why.
To authenticate against LDAP for pop3 you will need "qmail/bin/auth_pop" and
you will indeed modify your "qmail-pop3d/run" to reflect this. For IMAP
using courier-imap you will need to modify the
"courier-imap-1.6.2/libexec/imapd.rc" file to use qmail's auth_imap
authentication module.
These authentication modules "auth_pop" and "auth_imap" will be found in the
"qmail/bin/" directory ONLY if you had complied qmail with the qmail-ldap
patch.

Allan.
