Project Goal

A mailserver handling virtual mail accounts in multiple domains.

Implementation

A mailserver running dovecot, postfix, ldap and squirrelmail, with virtual domains and users.

Global variables and paths used

Variables

Primary domain

example.com

Second domain

acme.com

Hostname

mail.example.com

Files and paths

/etc/passwd

(on debian 101 is already taken by postfix!)

vmail:*:101:101:vmail user:/vmail:/bin/sh

Mail storage

mkdir -p /vmail/domains/
chown vmail /vmail/domains/
chmod 700 /vmail/domains/

/etc/group

vmail:*:101:

/var/run/dovecot/

owned by root

LDAP

For the per user mail quota and aliases i added schema qmail.schema to slapd.conf, with some small alterations: http://dhits.nl/download/qmail.new.schema

dn's used

ldap root

o=ldap

ldap admin

dc=root,o=ldap

domain root

 o=users,dc=example,dc=com,o=ldap

slapd.conf

#this one is needed by qmail schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/qmail.new.schema

#users will be allowed to change password via squirrelmail
access to attrs=userPassword
       by self write
       by anonymous auth
       by * read

To allow users to maintain mail aliases via squirrelmail

access to attrs=mailAlternateAddress
       by self write
       by * read

access to attrs=entry
       by self write
       by * read

access to * by * read

Squirrelmail

See squirrelmail and dovecot

Tips & tricks

Disallow imap

Use authldap.schema, 'disableimap'

Notes

Check out authldap.schema!!!
