[WBEL-users] Anyone got a good "how-to" for setting up a virtual mail host using RHEL/WBEL??

[Joe Brouhard]

Normally, I wouldn't spam more than one list, but I got myself a major
hurdle to fix before migrating my primary mailserver over to WBEL...

I have a Virtual Mailhost set up on my Gentoo Linux server (which is
doing EVERYTHING for me.. I'd like to spread services across one or two
boxes now).  The How-To I used for this can be found at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

I've used the how-to at www.high5.net/howto in an attempt to recreate
what a friend of mine did on RedHat 8.0.  However, This howto requires
me to build the packages from scratch.  I do not want to end up having
to do this for variety of reasons.. one of them being the problem of
upgrading.  If I ever upgrade using RPM's, there's too big a chance of
things breaking, forcing me to spend countless hours working on it when
I could be working on more important projects.

Sure, I could probably use the how-to to rebuild the RPM's from source,
but if anyone out there has a better suggestion/how-to for this kind of
setup, I'm all ears.

Anything to make my life easier.. I've been fighting this for two weeks
already, and have gotten sick of hunting down a simple issue like "i
can't login". <G>

Currently, virtual mailhosting works fine.  Everything's working. 
HOWEVER, User cannot LOGIN.  I'm presuming this is because I'm storing
passwords with MD5 encryptation in the mysql database, and SASL may not
be working with it properly.  SourceRPM says it is, so if the SourceRPM
says it was built with MD5 support, the rpm i pulled from the web/CDs
should also have this support, am I correct?
