NAME

       table_sqlite — format description for smtpd sqlite tables

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the file format of sqlite tables used by the smtpd(8) mail daemon.

       The format described here applies to tables as defined in smtpd.conf(5).

SQLITE TABLE

       A  SQLite  table  allows  the  storing  of usernames, passwords, aliases, and domains in a format that is
       shareable across various machines that support SQLite3

       The table is used by smtpd(8) when authenticating a user, when user information such  as  user-id  and/or
       home  directory is required for a delivery, when a domain lookup may be required, and/or when looking for
       an alias.

       A SQLite table consists of one or more SQLite3 Databases with one or more tables.

       If the table is used for authentication, the password should be encrypted using  the  crypt(3)  function.
       Such passwords can be generated using the encrypt(1) utility or smtpctl(8) encrypt command.

SQLITE TABLE CONFIG FILE

       dbpath
             This is the path to where the DB is located with the dbname.
       query_alias
             This is used to provide a query to look up aliases. All the question marks are replaced
             with the appropriate data, in this case it would be the left hand side of the SMTP address.
             This expects one varchar to be returned with the user name the alias resolves to.
       query_domain
             This is used to provide a query for a domain query call. All the question marks are replaced
             with the appropriate data, in this case it would be the right hand side of the SMTP address.
             This expects one varchar to be returned with a matching domain name.
       query_userinfo
             This is used to provide a query for looking up user information.
             All the question marks are replaced with the appropriate data, in this case it
             would be the left hand side of the SMTP address.
             This expects three fields to be returned an int containing a UID, an int containing a GID
             and a varchar containing the home directory for the user.
       query_credentials
             This is used to provide a query for looking up credentials. All the question marks are replaced
             with the appropriate data, in this case it would be the left hand side of the SMTP address.
             the query expects that there are two varchars returned one with a
             user name one with a password in
       encrypt(1)
             format.
