Tiger server, mail, vacations, virtual hosting

[greenergrad]

We’re trying to replace an aging EIMS server, running mulitple virtual hosts, with Tiger server. I’ve more or less figured out how to configure the virtual hosts but I’m trying to get user-defined vacation notices and forwarding setup through SquirrelMail. The mail server does double-duty as an OD Master, which handles OD authentication for a dozen file servers spread across our WAN. Network home folders are hosted on the local file servers. Our virtual hosting setup uses the OS X-style aliases, rather than postfix-style aliases since not all of our support staff is comfortable with the CLI.

What I’d like is to let all of our users access SquirrelMail (or some other web interface) to manage their own vacations and forwarding. Does anyone know the best way to do this? It looks like sieve will be broken because I chose OS X-style virtual hosts and aliases, no?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to do server side vacation messages and mail filtering also (see the thread ‘sieve has a problem with authentication’). However, sieve does not work on 10.4 server, it seems. At least not as advertised in the manual. I think I’ll have a look whether I can use procmail, though I hate having to mess with postfix, amavis.

Procmail may be the only way at this point but I’d be careful – I’ve been having problems with delivery when I’m using procmail on Tiger. It sometimes will get confused and messages will be queued, get delivered, and then rejected again and go back into the queue to be delivered, again, later.

Though since it would actually work, I’ll probably start working on that soon. Boooooo.
