non-LDAP lookups to user database

[smuchai]

I'm running Scalix-11.1.0 on openSUSE 10.2. This sits behind another box running Exim 4.66, Clamav, and DSPAM which relays incoming mail and acts as a smarthost for outbound mail.

I'd like to have Exim perform a user lookup before accepting inbound mail. DSPAM needs to authenticate users to allow them access to its web interface as well, but I just can't get mod_auth_imap to work yet.

I can easily get both to look up the users from a database .....but.....I'm wondering if the Scalix user information is stored in postgesql, and how I can access it (I've looked through the database but didn't find anything I could use).

....and, I'd like to stay away from LDAP....

Any pointers?

Regards,
Steve

It's not stored in postgres. You can either make the correct entries in local-host-names, and restart sendmail, which would cause the Scalix server to immediately bounce mail not destined for that server. I'd assume you could test for recipient validity before sending...

OR you could use an LDAP lookup, which is the best solution...
