"You might be able to get it to work with SAMBA, but it would be so
tremendously hackish that LDAP might actually be easier.... and that is
saying something! :)

There was a PostgreSQL passdb for Samba 3.x somewhere, but your going to
have to deal with schema differences and somehow manage the password
crypt transforms to/from NT-MD5/LANMAN... ugh."

Now yer scaring me! ;-)  Ok, I think I'll seperate virtual accounts (OGo, IMAP, SMTP,  amavisd, and maybe Jabber) from real system access accounts for now.  More hackish than LDAP is beyond me for now.  The existing Unix/Samba password sync works for me for now... Maybe I'll tackle that or LDAP later, as my skills improve.

"Does InstantOGo provide Samba?  I thought is was just OGo/SMTP/IMAP."

I don't think it does now, but it is evolving!  Knowing those Skyrix guys, it'll be doing all that and making coffee too before Vista ships!

"It is an interesting idea, and probably possible, but not trivial.
You'd probably have to code bits of it."

I'll start simple then.  I'm thinking I'll start with hooking amavisd-new into OGo for whitelisting contacts.  Blacklisting, logging and quarantine I'll probably put into a seperate db, R/W by ogo and amavis users.  I'm thinking the amavis user should have read only access to the contacts table in the OGo db, for security.  Am I missing anything so far?

Thanks for the time and good advice!

/Mike
