Although installed as part of the base PMDF-MTA product, the PMDF MessageStore is licensed separately. Sites without a license can create up to ten MessageStore user accounts in addition to the default
account. A PMDF-MSGSTORE license is required to create more than ten
user accounts for the MessageStore.
2.3 Accounts
MessageStore accounts have the same basic profile information as popstore accounts. Indeed, the same underlying data structure is used to describe both MessageStore accounts and popstore accounts. That structure is shown in Table 1-1. However, for MessageStore accounts the message_count
field of that structure is not used and usually should have a value of
zero.
Note in particular that the password security features described in Section 1.3.2.3 apply to both popstore and MessageStore accounts.
Note that in the MessageStore, the account name post
is reserved. It is the mailbox name associated with the store's
collection of public folders. For instance, a message for
post+staff@host is delivered to the public folder named
"staff".
2.3.1 Account Naming
The MessageStore supports only one account naming scheme: USERNAME_STYLE=3
. When configuring the MessageStore, the PMDF configuration utilities
will select that naming scheme automatically. See Section 1.3.1.1 for
information on this naming scheme.
