no you don't. when you configure the
directives from postfix main.cf you'll have to write in a file the mysql params like
Code:
# cat main.cf
...
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
...
# cat mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
user = u
password = p
hosts = ip add or name of the host which the mysql db resides on
dbname =
query =
so your web interface (i don't say GUI anymore thanks to
windependence ) and mysql db can reside on a different machine.
this way you don't have to overload or open new security threats on your mail machine.
