  To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

Hello list,
I've got a quick question;
I want to be able to make pop and smtp work with accounts.
I have it configured, but I need a username and password in order to access it. I'm not sure how to add smtp users, or if there even is such thing.
Is there a way to make exim4 and courier use shell accounts for mail, or do they have their own type of account.

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

Someone else will have to help you with exim4. In terms of courier,
you can authenticate shell accounts using the authpam module, assuming
your system uses pam for authentication, which is the default in
Debian anyway. If you want to use virtual accounts with courier, those
use the authuserdb module for authentication. Hth.

By default exim and courier work on standard accounts in the passwd file.
courier authenticates against pam.
It also wants to see maildir mailboxes; so you'll want to set maildir_home 
in exim configuration.
I believe newer courier can deliver to mbox but it's not efficient.
I actually transitioned from courier to dovecot recently as dovecot is much 
more efficient handling large maildirs.
If you are going to use maildir ensure that you have your /home on a file 
system that will handle plenty of inodes, symbolic links and lots of small 
files.
Regards, Kerry.

thanks. I think e3fs is chill with that. I'll take a look at the config.

Hi,
I see Courier is being mentioned here.  Does anyone know if they fixed 
the RFC incompatability issues that used to exist in that MTA?
