cvm-vmailmgr(8) System Manager's Manual cvm-vmailmgr(8)
NAME
cvm-vmailmgr - vmailmgr virtual user validation module
SYNOPSIS
cvm-vmailmgr
CREDENTIALS
Pass phrase
DESCRIPTION
This module validates credentials using accounts in a vmailmgr system. It does domain lookups the same way qmail would to determine what
system account and virtual account to use.
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
QMAIL_ROOT (optional)
The root directory under which all the qmail configuration files are expected to be found. Defaults to "/var/qmail", which is the
normal qmail install path.
VMAILMGR_PWFILE (optional)
The relative path to the password file located in the virtual domain's home directory. Defaults to "passwd.cdb".
VMAILMGR_DEFAULT (optional)
The name of the default or "catch-all" account to look up if no match is found for the virtual account name. Defaults to "+", and
is only used in lookup mode.
