Postfix Cyrus Web cyradm HOWTO

PostgreSQL natively. I strongly suggest that you use MySQL. I know MySQL has

some restrictions on transactions and stuff, but it is supported in the distributed

Postfix code.

The entries should be self explanatory

$DB = array(

'TYPE'

=> 'mysql',

'USER'

=> 'mail',

'PASS'

=> 'secret',

'PROTO' => 'unix',

// set to "tcp" for TCP/IP

'HOST'

=> 'localhost',

'NAME'

=> 'mail'

);

8.3. Default Quota

The default quota to be used is set in the variable

DEFAULT_QUOTA=20000

and is

used when creating a new domain

8.4. Crypted passwords

Web cyradm supports the storage of encrypted passwords. I strongly suggest the use

of encryption. There are three methods supported at the moment: Unix compatible

(crypt), md5 and MySQL. The Unix compatible encryption allows you to import

encrypted passwords from an existing

/etc/shadow

. This is the preferred option.

Unfortunately, MySQL uses a proprietary encryption method which is only

available when using MySQL. I'm currently thinking about dropping support for

MySQL crypt, because it only works with MySQL and makes a migration to

another database impossible. As soon as there is a method available to re engineer

the MySQL crypt on PHP there will be a solution (Help needed in programming,

legal constraints?)

Check the variable

$CRYPT

in the file

config.inc.php

. Value  plain  means no

encryption,  crypt  means Shadow compatible encryption, mysql means MySQL

encryption.
