Since the use of [[../LDAP|LDAP]] can be somewhat challenging and also excessive
paul@951 4
in some situations, examples of maintaining recipient information are provided
paul@951 5
that use an approach involving simple textual lists of identities.
paul@951 6
paul@951 7
In this simpler environment, recipient details must be manually edited in the
paul@951 8
virtual identity files, but this permits a very transparent way of
paul@951 9
administering the system.

== Using Lists with Exim ==
paul@951 12
paul@963 13
Example configuration files for Exim are distributed in `conf/exim/simple`:

paul@971 35
paul@975 36
Where [[../LocalSMTP|local SMTP routing]] is being performed ''and'' the
paul@975 37
recipients are local system users, the following files are also useful:
paul@971 38
paul@971 39

These files can be incorporated into the Exim configuration. On Debian
paul@955 51
systems, the numbered files can be copied into `/etc/exim4/conf.d/router`,
paul@971 52
whereas the `virtual` files can be copied into `/etc/exim4`.

paul@951 54
== Using Lists with Postfix ==
paul@951 55
paul@963 56
Example configuration files for Postfix are distributed in `conf/postfix/simple`:

The following files are common to [[../LDAP|LDAP]] and simple integration
paul@978 82
and are found in `conf/postfix`:

paul@978 84

paul@978 97
These files can be incorporated into the Postfix configuration. On Debian
paul@978 98
systems, `master.cf.items` can be merged into `/etc/postfix/master.cf`,
paul@978 99
whereas the other files can be merged into any existing files of the same
paul@978 100
names in `/etc/postfix`.
