VPopMail
========

Dovecot supports authenticating against external VPopMail
[http://www.inter7.com/index.php?page=vpopmail] virtual domain manager. Dovecot
must have been configured with '--with-vpopmail' to enable this. You can check
this with 'dovecot --build-options'. See also <VMailMgr> [HowTo.VMailMgr.txt]
for another similar virtual domain manager.

If the vpopmail database contains plaintext passwords, it can be used for
non-plaintext authentication as well.

passdb parameters:

 * cache_key: If set, you can use 'auth_cache' with VPopMail. See <PAM>
   [PasswordDatabase.PAM.txt] for more information about it.
 * webmail=IP: If IP address is specified, connections from it are assumed to
   come from webmail and VPopMail's webmail usage restrictions apply.

userdb parameters:

 * cache_key: Like in passdb.
 * quota_template=TEMPLATE: Template to specify quota rule, %q in value expands
   to Maildir++ quota.

Example
-------

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
passdb {
  driver = vpopmail
  args = webmail=127.0.0.1
}
userdb {
  driver = vpopmail
  args = quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

VPopMail + MySQL
================

Alternatively, you can use the SQL backend with the following configuration:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
driver = mysql
connect = host=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock user=vpopmail
password=YOURPASSWORDHERE dbname=vpopmail

default_pass_scheme = PLAIN
password_query = SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS user, \
  pw_clear_passwd AS password \
  FROM vpopmail \
  WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d'
user_query = SELECT pw_dir as home, \
  89 AS uid, 89 AS gid \
  FROM vpopmail \
  WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d'
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
