Default [courier-users] authlib authpam vs authuserdb


Hello, =


here is what i am trying to do.

I got a bunch of users to migrate to authmysql for this server but since i =

don't have there old shadow passwords, i need to migrate this gradually.

So what i had in mind was to use the stacking authentication that courier =

authlib offers. So 1st, try to authenticate to mysql, if not fall back to =

authpam, than authuserdb. =


the problem i have is my users in /etc/passwd cannot have a @ in them and =

since i will be hosting multiple domain names, i need to authentify with fu=
ll =

email address. =


So i was wondering is what is the easiest to get this working. =


My first idea was to strip domain part when i authenticate against pam.
I haven't found any way to do this yet.

My second options was to put these users in userdb but will i be able to us=
e =

my old password database.

All this will be only for 1 domain, since the other domains are already in =

userdb elsewhere.

Thanks for helping me out.
